“And encourage the procurement and manufacturing of drugs in Nigeria. We have what it takes…talk to Professor Patrick, he is doing an excellent job, trying to encourage… all I need to do is to put the incentives in place in order for them to harness what is possible in Nigeria. It is about time we do all of those. Bring the cost of governance down,” Tinubu said.
