The Nigerian government has announced its partnership with Univercells SA, a Belgian public limited liability company on the deployment of biotechnology to achieve the much anticipated turnaround in the country’s health sector.
The Coordinating Minister of Health and Social Welfare, Muhammad Pate, on Tuesday, announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the government and the company in Brussels on his X handle.
Mr Pate said the MoU focuses on “the adoption of biotechnology for Nigeria and aims to facilitate cooperation in establishing the necessary infrastructure, including training capabilities for local research, development, and manufacturing of medicines of both human and animal public health importance.”
