Governor of Plateau State, Barrister Caleb Mutfwang, has charged the National Association of Natural and Traditional Medicine Practitioners of Nigeria to exert energy in research towards the revolutionizing natural medicine to meet global best practices.
The governor made this call at the Plateau State Natural Medicine Day, with the theme, ‘Exploring the Potentials of Natural Medicine,’ which took place at Crispan Hotel, Jos.
He was represented by the State Commissioner of Information and Communications, Musa Ibrahim Ashoms, when he acknowledged the laudable contributions natural medicine practitioners have made, and are making, to the growth of the society through the prevention and treatment of physical and mental illnesses, which he said cannot be overemphasized.
Chairman BOT/National President of the Association of Natural and Traditional Medicine Practitioners of Nigeria, Chief Dr. Luka Peter Doka, said that natural medicine, if properly harnessed, will be a “money spinner” for the country, especially Plateau State.
He also used the occasion to thank His Excellency, Barrister Caleb Manasseh Mutfwang, for supporting the body and agreeing to host the event.
The Plateau State Natural Medicine Day was hosted by the State Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation, which continued through Thursday the 2nd day of November, 2023, at the same venue.
