    Published on

    Chairman of the National Health Research Ethics Committee (NHREC), Prof. Richard Adegbola has said the newly developed Electronic Protocol Submission Platform (NHREC E-portal), will strengthen health research and governance.

    This is even as the minister of state for Health and Social Welfare, Dr. Iziaq Adekunle Salako has said the NHREC E-portal is a secure, user-friendly digital interface designed to facilitate the submission, review, monitoring, and approval of research protocols by the NHREC.

    Special adviser on Research and Innovation to the minister, Dr. Lolade Dosunmu Adeyemi, while quoting the minister, said the new innovation replaces the previous email-based system, aiming to improve the efficiency, transparency, and accountability of ethics review processes.

    He invited all stakeholders, including researchers, research institutions, ethics committee members, sponsors, and collaborators, to begin using the platform from July 1, 2025.

    Meanwhile, Adegbola expressed appreciation to the Federal Ministry of Health, partners, and sponsors for their support in making the launch possible.

    According to him, “Support materials, user guides, and technical assistance will be readily available to ensure a smooth transition.”

    He further said this milestone follows the official unveiling of the platform on October 4, 2024, and subsequent refinement and pilot testing.

    The NHREC E-portal, Adegbola added, marks a new chapter in promoting excellence in health research across Nigeria, aligning with global best practices in digital ethics administration.
