The ICIR will be publishing a special report about the 1996 Kano Pfizer Vaccine Trial.

Two hundred children were administered with Trovafloxacin (Trovan), a vaccine then newly manufactured by Pfizer.

#PfizerKanoVaccineTrial #VaccineTrial #PfizerVaccine
And none of the parents were ever told that their children were being used as guinea pigs until each of the victims started showing new health challenges that are similar.

Pfizer did not obtain consent as required in such procedures.
The @Fmohnigeria investigation committee set up to investigate the clinical trial of Trovan by Pfizer found out that the Principal Investigator
(PI), Dr Isa Dutse, gave a backdated Ethical Committee Clearance to Pfizer, a forged approval to do the test in the country.

Akwa Ibom Gov @MrUdomEmmanuel, SSG in Multi-Billion Naira Scandal

The House of Assembly approved N2.5bn for the maintenance of the state aircraft but the SSG’s office spent N5.04bn on the maintenance of one aircraft, which is used exclusively by the Gov. bit.ly/3nyaBBk Image
THE Akwa Ibom State Govt this year released the Account General’s annual report and audited financial statements for 2019. A thorough analysis of the report reveals that the offices of the Gov & SSG made several questionable and extra-budgetary expenses in 2019. cc. @EditiEffiong Image
These bizarre expenses were incurred on cars, aircraft maintenance, fuel, government special projects and governor’s hospitality exceed N10 billion. bit.ly/3nyaBBk

Cc. @hartng ImageImageImage
There were feelings of excitement among the people of Ohuru-Ndoki Community when three contractors were prequalified to bid for their road project in 2008. They were happy that after a long wait, their prayers were about to be answered. Image
But years later, their dream is yet to materialise. The people are disillusioned. tinyurl.com/y3znxp9a
