In a series of tweets, Gbenga Akosile revealed how he had gotten anti-malaria medicines when he began feeling ill but didn’t get better even after finishing the dose.
“I usually don’t joke with my health so I stopped at a pharmacy on my way home, got an anti malaria drug with some paracetamol and I used it as recommended. I must state here that I have never completed a full dose of any malaria treatment or drugs before getting back on my feet in my adult life, never!”

“In fact, you would have to remind me sometimes before taking my drugs because I would have felt well after taking the second dose. This time, I completed the malaria medicine yet there was no improvement. By Thursday (July 2) evening and Friday (July 3) morning, my health condition had started to deteriorate. The feelings gradually moved from headaches to severe body pains and cold“, he wrote.
Without sounding immodest, Lagos State Government is a model State on the COVID-19 response in Africa. Special thanks to Mr. Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu who built excess capacity in readiness for the pandemic.
