Professor
Maurice Iwu, a former Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission
(INEC), said today that his team had discovered a cure for the deadly
coronavirus.
Prof. Iwu, who is the Chief
Executive Officer of Bioresources Institute of Nigeria, stated this when he led
his team of researchers to brief the Minister of Science and Technology,
Ogbonnaya Onu and his Health counterpart, Dr. Osagie Ehanire, in Abuja.
He said the institute
identified and patented the possible COVID 19 treatment in 2015 and now needs
the Federal Government’s support to translate the compound into a drug for the
treatment of the virus.
Recall that Nigeria
recorded its first case of coronavirus last Friday after an infected Italian
man made his way into the country.
