The usage of Afe Babalola University, Ado-Ekiti (ABUAD) herbal drug has healed 19 patients of the dreaded COVID-19 disease.

The founder of the University, Aare Afe Babalola made the revelation in Ado-Ekiti, the Ekiti state capital on Tuesday during a ceremony commemorating the 12th anniversary of the establishment of ABUAD.

He said the number of those healed by the herbal drug is increasing by the day since its approval a few weeks ago by the National Agency for Food Administration and Control (NAFDAC).

Babalola noted that the research department of the university over the years has been churning out meaningful new discoveries aimed at solving the socio-economic problems of the country.

He pointed out that he conceived the institution in 2010 to contribute to the nation’s education development in the area of research, teaching and community service.

He said, “I am happy that I conceived this university twelve years ago and since then, we have been going from strength to strength, making exploits in all our endeavors. Our vision is to make this place a great institution in the university education in the country in teaching, research and community service.

“I can confirm to you today that our herbal drug produced through extensive research by our team of researchers has healed about 19 patients who contracted covid-19 pandemic. They were healed perfectly less than five days of usage, that tells you the level of our research in ABUAD.”

Babalola while speaking on the 2023 general elections, said that conducting the election with the present 1999 constitution would lead to the collapse of the nation.

The Senior Advocate of Nigeria lamented that the nation has been facing series of challenges created by the 1999 constitution imposed on the people by the military, calling on the national assembly to pass a resolution adopting the 1960 constitution before the next year’s polls in the interest of the country.

According to him, “We must avoid recycling the old failed leaders in the governance of this country. Any mistake in electing a new set of leaders under the present constitution will ruin Nigeria completely.

“The simple way out is for the National Assembly is to pass a resolution adopting the 1960/1963 constitution with necessary amendments such as having in place six regions and one-house parliament.”

The renowned lawyer decried the increasing creation of universities in constituencies across the country by the National Assembly, saying this development usurp the power of the National Universities Commission as prescribed by law on the establishment of universities.

The elder statesman who described these universities as “political universities”,  said this situation if not nipped in the bud by NUC and the ministry of education, would have adverse effect on the nation’s education sector.

“ The ministry of education and NUC should exercise their powers to checkmate this in the interest of quality education in the country because what these ambitious members of the national assembly have done amounts to usurpation and abuse of power.

“ Every attempt must be made by all stakeholders to put a lid on the establishment of political universities that hardly survive those who put them in place after they are out of power otherwise, there will be a crash in the quality of private universities,” he said.

Babalola at the event invited President Muhammadu Buhari to visit the university and see the landmark achievements in the last twelve years which he said had been acknowledged by both local and international organizations, saying, “the president should find a way of replication our universities in the different geo-political zones of the country.”
