As part of efforts to strengthen evidence-based traditional medicine practices, the government plans to invest more, regulate better, and collaborate internationally.
During the 2025 African Traditional Medicine Day in Abuja, Minister of State for Health and Social Welfare, Iziaq Salako, introduced key documents including a Strategic Plan and a Code of Ethics for Traditional Medicine Practitioners. The goal is to ensure safety, quality, and standardization of traditional medicine, creating job opportunities and improving healthcare through local manufacturing.
