An APC comrade, Sulaimon Olamide, passionately appeals to the Nigerian government to resurrect a pharmaceutical company, citing a surge in the cost of asthmatic medication.
Recently, GSK, a prominent drug production company, severed ties with Nigeria due to government policies, resulting in a drastic spike in drug prices.
Without the company's presence, medication costs have skyrocketed, impacting essential drugs like Seretide disk and Ventolin inhalers, crucial for asthmatic patients.
The APC comrade reveals that the Seretide disk, once ₦8000, has surged to ₦52,500, and the Ventolin Inhaler, formerly ₦1500, now stands at ₦8,500.
Struggling with a ₦45,000 salary, he implores the Government for assistance, emphasizing the challenge of affording these vital medications.
Concerned Nigerians suggest he directly contact the APC-led Government, given his party affiliation.
