reading virus have yet to signify interest to embrace the initiative,Saturday PUNCH
NAFDAC, which approves medicines meant for clinical trials, had on March 20 approved the use of chloroquine for clinical trial, warning however that the approval was not for the drug to be used as treatment for the virus. But responding to enquiries on whether states have applied to the agency for clearance to commence the clinical trial, Adeyeye said, “I know that Lagos State has signified interest and the clinical trial is about to start.
“And they are about to finish setting it up because there should be an approval. NAFDAC has to monitor it. No exact date for Lagos State but it is going to be very soon.”Confirming the readiness of Lagos State for the clinical trial, the state Commissioner for Information, Mr Gbenga Omotoso, told one of our correspondents on Thursday that the government was working on it.
She added, “About four weeks ago, I approached a local manufacturing company , a member of Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Group of Manufacturing Association of Nigeria, whose flagship product in the past was chloroquine, to make a batch of the drug for emergency stock. The company had NAFDAC approval for the production of the drug as anti-malarial many years ago before the discontinuation.”
Meanwhile, the company being touted to undertake the clinical trial in the country, Sanofi Nigeria, has said it has not been approached by NAFDAC for a clinical trial. Responding to an enquiry by one of our correspondents on Friday, the Special Adviser to Governor Dapo Abiodun on Public Communications, Remmy Hazzan, said, “The reason is that for now, we don’t have any case that would warrant the use or administration of chloroquine. One of our cases is even on the verge of being discharged from the hospital.”
Ongbabo, who is the secretary, State Action Committee on COVID-19, explained that even though NAFDAC had come out to declare that only Lagos State had shown interest in the clinical trial, Benue could only show similar interest if the NCDC made it mandatory for the state.
ONLY TAKE MEDICAL ADVISE FROM MEDICAL EXPERTS
Shuning the chloroquine trials is quite understandable. The crooked elite hyping the covid19 endtime is not ready to countenance a possible cure because it will massively undercut their profit margin.
Of course
Embrace chloroquine or Embrace ID2020 vaccine DAT will digitally identify and computerize record of who u r .
they are denying it so people won't result to self care
My question is what have the doctors been using to cure the patience with the covid-19 virus ? Because about 25 of them have been discharged
I dey kampe!
Please guys don't use any imported face mask 😷make sure you test it first is better to use your clothes to protect yourself than rather die because of face mask 😷
Wondering if they have an alternative! We have to be sensible.
Madam you should have known your oga's by now, chloroquine is too cheap they needed something's like expensive vaccine so they can use it to embezzle funds
Are you trying to use Nigerians as scapegoats ? Tell me the clear medical advice that allows this drugs to be used. I bet the west are trying to make us its sacrificial testing lamps .
