Nigeria has become the fifteenth African country to join the European and Developing Countries Clinical Trials Partnership, the organisation announced on 20 September.
It will be represented by Akin Oyemakinde from the country’s federal health ministry and S.L. Salako from the Nigerian Institute of Medical Research in the EDCTP general assembly. Nigeria becomes the EDCTP’s 29th partner.
