Welcome message from the Director General / CEO

The National Institute for Pharmaceutical Research and Development (NIPRD) is a Federal Government Parastatal under the Federal Ministry of Health. The Agency was established by Government Order No. 33 Vol. 74 of 11th June 1987 Part B under the Science and Technology Act Cap 276. It became functional in the year 1989. In 2001 following a Federal Executive Council decision, NIPRD was moved to the Federal Ministry of Health (FMOH), with a huge investment in scientific equipment and human resources.

NIPRD is the only one of its kind in the Region, and is statutorily charged with the responsibility for research and development of drugs, vaccines, phytomedicines, commodities, and diagnostics aimed at improving sustainable access to safe, affordable and high-quality healthcare. Read more…

"NIPRD is taking the lead, especially with innovative concepts like the CPP project"

"PSN proudly associates with NIPRD, especially with its renewed innovative strategic drive"

"NIPRD intervention leverages the systems approach to ensure that while its projects improve access to health, it also makes significant impact on relevant socioeconomic variables"

"At no time in our Nation’s history is NIPRD relevant more than now when President Muhammadu Buhari is determined to implement Universal Health Coverage for our people."

The conceptualization of NIPRD HEEAD is a direct response to the gap in the Health Sector. This approach ensures a robust and comprehensive engagement with seminal and topical issues, in a manner that is contextual enough to expeditiously impact on our people’s health.
