Governor Ganduje said “You talked of Vaccine production, we are ready to build synergy with you. Though we have our drug production agency. Where we produce many of our simple drugs here in Kano for consumption.”

He said: “It is a matter of studying that outfit and see how it can be improved. Because there are some rudimentary issues that are already there for the production of drugs. We really appreciate and welcome this development.”
