US drugmaker Pfizer and Nigeria’s northern Kano state have clinched a final out-of-court settlement over the 1996 drug trials that led to the deaths of 11 children, lawyers said Monday.

The agreement, which is due to be inked on Thursday in Nigeria, was formally announced in court on Monday, lawyers from both sides said, without giving details of the amounts involved.

“I told the court this morning that we have settled this case with Pfizer. We are signing the out-of-court agreement on July 30 at noon in Nigeria,” Aliyu Umar, the victims’ lawyer, told AFP.
