Why not imported pharmaceutical products

Give waivers to finished pharmaceutical products.. that's the real deal.

Let patients have access to essential medicines..most are not manufactured in Nigeria...we know this!

Inasmuch as I don't support any Nigeria Politicians but I think this is a very good one from President Tinubu.

At least if they stop tax on drugs all this medicine people are relying on for their health can come in freely and the price will drop drastically.

Thank you Mr President. You do this one make we no lie.

Don't mind the President...he signed for inputs and not finished products.

What he signed is only for raw materials

As dem dey curse Nigeria, the country sef dey curse dem. No wonder they are always wailing.

A beg mention their name....no dey fear!
Na IGBOS dey do am .....they always pray for Nigeria to fail yet they want to rule. Hateful tribe!

Oga tax collector what happened

Another of the policy somersaults. Before #hellenius calls you an IPOB miscreant.

This will bring some relief in the medical circle, which would make it affordable for the needy. It is empirical that some people life's depends on the intake of medication, considering the inflation that has blemished the present state of affair of the country.

Oh dis is cool.

He should do for legumes and cereals too atleast till December

The idea is to give support to indigenous manufacturers. Emzor, Neimeth, Orange drugs are beneficiaries of this policy because it stimulates local production.

Ezewuzie01:
These are policies that help the economy not sharing paliatives or increasing minimum wage for a small group of workers. I am suspecting that Soludo is involved in the crafting of this policy as he is currently building a pharmaceutical park in Anambra state.

Would it equally be zero VAT on locally manufactured pharmaceutical goods as well?

I sometimes wonder if some of you attended primary school at all or is it so much hate that has blindfolded most of you?
If raw materials are easy to get and at good price the price of the end products will surely be low and affordable for people to buy.
Do you need a baby to tell you that? SMH!

Antoeni:
So Importation of COCAINE, HEROIN & Canadian Loud / Ice is. Now. TAX FREE, DRUG DEALER WILL ALWAYS PROTECT HIS INTEREST

We village people are not responsible for this ones stupidity. He got or from both parents.

I agree..this should be a long term thing and is a welcome development.

But, what will solve the immediate burden on patients as at today is massive reduction on the price of essential medicines. This is very key, people are dying ..they cannot afford their medication.

You're a blockhead without exposure or common sense.

They want to increase attractiveness of local drug production, you are here talking trash. Some of you type as if you lack basic commonsense.

VillagePipu:


You always suggest things that will make Ohaneze cry. Why?

Allow them to cry. We will continue pressing their Neck until they receive sanity

Is this the solution
After APC has used bad policies to frustrate all the pharmaceutical companies to leave the country..

Most of those drugs should easily be manufactured in Nigeria..

Local manufacturers to the rescue. If you want to criticise, do so with sense.

Stimulate ke? These foreign companies are competitors and if the playing field is not leveled, we are likely to see local manufacturers go out of business as a result of this.

Children of hate and those ones that has no knowledge of economics are already complaining about it.

You people aren't circumspect

If tinubu had done dis and similar signing before removing fuel subsidy and naira devaluation

Is typical yoruba enjoying now that a yoruba is ruling

GOOD, LET HIM DO SOMETHING ON EDUCATIONAL SECTOR TOO QUICKLY, NO ONE WANT TO BE A TEACHER ANYMORE, FOOD SECURITY TOO VERY IMPORTANT

Are there no pharmaceutical products manufacturers from your Villagepipu? Man from Interior village of Oyo State who sees Lagos as London and his hometown.

Thanks Mr President.

The Pharmaceutical Industries should reciprocate by bringing down their prices accordingly.

Naija must be better, MUST!

A lot of phamacitical industries left Nigeria before APC and it too bad that you don't understand that the policy is to help local manufacturers.

Hopefully my antidepressants become cheaper...

You know nothing about this field ..stay clear!

As at today, major pharmaceutical companies in Nigeria do not have WHO pre-qualified plants...majority import their branded generics!

That said, the move by the government is laudable...but what happens to immediate relief on skyrocketing prices of essential medicines that are not manufactured in Nigeria

Why not remove import duty completely on finished pharmaceutical products and also their raw materials and APIs

If you do this...many Nigerians with terminal illness will have huge relief from prices of these medicines.

That's the argument.

Next time...don't jump into what you know nothing about.

Ok, I pick 1

BigDawsNet:
Tinubu for 2027
Or
Nasir El-Rufai for 2027


Pick 1

When those international pharm coys were in manufacturing in nigeria, their drugs were not cheap.

Local manufacturers don't manufacture essential medicines...some that sells them actually import to rebrand
