Objective: To evaluate the success rate of tuberculosis intervention program at a specialist hospital in (?) Badan, Nigeria through a retrospective study as well as carry out physicochemical evaluation of anti-tuberculous agents as a way of eliminating drug-related failure.

There was a significant (P <0.05) patient enrollment across the quarters for the seven years. An overall 80.24% cure rate over the 7-period was obtained which is less than the WHO target of 85% .Cure rates were better in females than males. Failure treatment symptoms such as positive (1.51 %), deaths (8.73%), defaulted (3.33%) and transferred out (5.95%) were recorded though not significantly significant (P> 0.05) .Failure rates in all categories were higher in males than females (P> 0.05). Conclusions: More enlightenment and counseling is still required to meet up with the target for TB control.
