The advantage of Moringa is natural, so they have no side effects, but alum is known to have caused a lot of diseases including anemia diseases. He said using Moringa is for the betterment of Nigeria economically and healthwise, saying that that is why we need to shift from the use of alum to the use of Moringa seeds. Beside the seeds for water treatment, analysts said the Moringa leaf is comparatively an unheard name in spite of the fact that it has been found mentioned more than two thousand years before, and the World Health Organization has been observing and utilizing the tree for more than forty years now as a cheap health supplement in the poverty-stricken countries the world over. They said the reason behind this is that, the sale of all kinds of health supplements, minerals and vitamins is a lucrative business. According to some analysts no big company would ever take the risk of introducing a name that could potentially harm and lower the sale of all other nutritional items. The same holds water for the pharmaceutical countries too. These huge companies would prefer to keep the general public in the dark about the benefits of the Moringa leaf to make big money. Yohanna Dami Kadashi is the Executive Director of Avuco Nigeria Limited. He said among the common diseases that Moringa can cure are high blood pressure, Malaria and diabetes, as well as helping people living with HIV/AIDS by removing the feverish condition for the patient to be stable. He said his center has been doing research on Moringa for at least five years, stressing that their main concern is to do the research to find out the capabilities of the plant and other product from it. He said the oil from Moringa seeds is in high demand in the international market, and is being sold at $10 per litre. He told Daily Trust that part of the expansion project of the centre is the plan to plant one million seedlings for this year, also making it available to public to buy ,as he said the tree is very important to every home. The Director General of the Raw Material Research and Development council, Professor Peter A. Onwualu said at the sensitization workshop on Moringa that the plant is a good supplement to other oil seed crops, and does not compete with local food production. According to him, the importance of Moringa includes but is not restricted to oil uses for both cooking, and as raw material for the cosmetic industry, water treatment as suitable substitute to alum and the leaves as a source of raw materials for preparation of nutritional and medicinal products due to its high protein content (27 %), significant quantities of calcium, Iron, phosphorous and Vitamins (A, B, and C) among other active ingredients. Onwualu further disclosed that other uses include, it’s use as animal fodder, the cake is used as animal feed, and the wood pulp is used as raw materials for paper-making. He said the policy relevance of promoting the plant is to cultivate and develop the whole value chain is in line with the poverty reduction strategy of this administration. Onwualu said the new strategy to be used by RMRDC in developing the plant is through the sensitization workshops and awareness, creation on the importance of Moringa, as well as promoting the culture of processing Moreinga into useful products for industrial and other importance uses. He said the Agency would also create employment opportunities through the cultivation of Moringa and enhance income generation among farmers, especially women, who might be involved in the cultivation, seed harvesting and marketing, processing of seeds into oil and other economic activities. “There is no doubt that Moringa has the potential to address issues relating to income generation, job creation, improved health through the supply of potable and wholesome water. It will equally enhance food security through cultivation, processing and utilization of the plant”. The DG RMRDC told the participants that the need to mount adequate awareness campaign among the policy makers, private sector, NGO, farmers and the public, concerted efforts will be made to develop this hitherto unknown plant resources to an export crop, which will in turn attract considerable economic benefits to our country. Professor Charles Wambebe, Fellow of the Nigerian Academy of Science and member of the International Biomedical Research in Africa said the potentials of Moringa for medicinal purposes are enormous, but unfortunately, in Nigeria there is no documentation of research work of the Plant. He said ‘ I wish to see that there is collection of researches on Moringa in Nigeria and be publishing in the science journals. “In Ghana they have gone far in that respect. In fact they encourage every household to plant the tree within their compounds, so that they can explore the best out of it”.
