A former member of the House of Representatives, Prince Ned Nwoko says Nigeria needs to begin advanced research on ways of tackling malaria in the country.

In the immediate term, the businessman told a cross-section of journalists in Abuja that he is finalizing plans, in collaboration with foreign scientists to carry out aerial fumigation in the country to get rid of mosquitoes, which are the primary causes of malaria which is the cause of millions of deaths throughout Nigeria.

Galaxy’s Godfrey Eshiemoghie reports that Mr. Nwoko made this known shortly after returning from his trip to Antarctica
