The National Health Research Ethics Committee , Federal Ministry of Health , said it had requested University of Agriculture , Umudike, Abia , to provide details of the clinical trial of the claim for cure of HIV/ AIDS .
Prof . Maduike Ezeibe , a Professor of Veterinary Medicine at Michael Okpara University of Agriculture , Umudike and others claimed they had conducted clinical trials of a substance on HIV positive individuals .
Ezeibe and others said in some international journals that they administered the “ Medicinal Synthetic Aluminum - Magnesium Silicate ” to HIV positive individuals with intention to cure the individuals of HIV.
However , The Chairman of NHREC , Prof . Clement Adebamowo , in a statement on Friday in Abuja said the research did not comply with the provisions of the National Code for Health Research Ethics and the National Health Act 2014 .
He said , “ The NHREC is the primary guidance document on ethical regulation of research in Nigeria . ”
The chairman said that the committee had requested the university to provide list of members and contact information of the Health Research Ethics Committee that reviewed and approved the research conducted by Ezeibe .
He added that other documents requested from the university include copies of duly approved informed consent forms signed by participants in the clinical trials.
Adebamawo said the committee might also request access to the patients who participated in the clinical trials for verification.
Other requests made by the committee were the originals and copies of approval of the research by the Clinical Trial Regulatory Unit of the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control .
He said the committee also requested copies of the curriculum vitae , certificates and professional licences of members of the research team, among others.
He explained that the request for professional licences and certificates of the research team was to ascertain their qualifications to provide clinical care and administer drugs to Nigerians as prescribed by law .
The chairman urged other institutions and researchers to be diligent and abide by the extant regulations in Nigeria and other international codes for ethical conduct of health research .
He said , “Institutions and researchers should note that when found in violation of the extant regulations for conducting ethical research in Nigeria , NHREC may institute disciplinary measures as empowered by the National Health Act 2014 . ”

Your emergence made Nairaland useless and killed every form of meaningful debate and frustrated any attempt to elevating debates/discussions to a higher level where local and international media can extract comments and quotes from this board.

Who did this to you?

Must you have opinion in every issue?

Abeg, it's time to retreat for the good of intelligent, factual and research based debates and citation.

Has the govt proven that the claims are unfounded?
Shouldn't you keep your stupidity in check until the govt or anyone proves that the profs' claims lack merit?
Every comment you make here confirms why no one takes you serious.
