This comes after the World Health Organization and the Nigerian government approved the use of experimental treatments
Nigeria receives samples of an experimental drug to treat the deadly Ebola disease yesterday.
News of the development was disclosed by the Minister of Health, Onyebuchi Chukwu.
The drug, named “Nanosilver”, is said to have been provided by a Nigerian in diaspora.
