About Egbogi Therapeutics
A Nigerian pharmaceutical technology company building local API manufacturing and discovering new medicines from African science.
Our Story
Nigeria has a large pharmaceutical market and a strong base of medicine manufacturers. Yet the active ingredients they rely on are overwhelmingly imported. That leaves local producers exposed to currency swings, long procurement cycles and supply disruption overseas.
​At the same time, few African companies take part in discovering entirely new medicines. Egbogi Therapeutics was founded to close both gaps. We bring process engineering and drug discovery together in one company: making the ingredients Nigeria imports today, and originating the medicines Africa will need tomorrow.
To combine scientific innovation, pharmaceutical process engineering, API manufacturing and therapeutic discovery to develop affordable medicines and pharmaceutical technologies for Nigeria and the wider African market.
To build a leading African pharmaceutical technology company capable of manufacturing high-quality APIs locally and originating globally relevant medicines from African science.
