The World Health Organisation (WHO) has revealed that Nigeria has expressed interest to be part of the global solidarity drug trial to combat COVID-19. The WHO launched solidarity drug trials for these specific drugs hydroxychloroquine, chloroquine phosphate, and remdesivir in April, Daily Trust reports.

Speaking at the joint national briefing of the presidential task force (PTF) on COVID-19, Fiona Braka, the officer in charge, WHO Nigeria, said efforts are underway to start the process in the country. She said more than 100 countries have joined the solidarity clinical trial, which was launched by WHO and some partners, to help find an effective treatment for COVID-19.

She said over 1,200 patients have been randomized from the first five countries to evaluate the “safety and efficacy of drug combinations”. Braka also said a total of 89 vaccines are being developed globally, including seven in clinical evaluation and several therapeutics in clinical trials.

Europe could have been the best continent to test the drugs not African soil because Africa has few cases compared to Europe and USA.

Clinical Trials of Coronavirus Vaccines Set To Begin in Nigeria, the Failed State of Africa. A country with a deaf and dead brain government leader. The most corrupt country in the world with armed robbers, kidnappers and terrorists as her law makers, security chiefs and Corrupt judiciary. Nigeria is a Failed State.

Depopulation have started, foolish and terrorist government.

What happened to organic COVID-19 syrup produced in Madagascar medicine?

The only thing the Zoo government is good at is bringing something that will kill her citizenry en masse.
