Ex-Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Prof. Maurice Iwu, said on Monday his team had discovered a cure for the deadly coronavirus.
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.
Nigeria recorded its first case of coronavirus last Friday and over 20 persons who had contact with the index case had been quarantined.
Over 90,000 people globally have been infected with the deady Coronavirus, resulting to close to 4,000 deaths, across 68 countries.
The virus started in Wuhan, China late last year, and the country remains the worst hit
The most affected countries after China are South Korea (4,212 cases, 22 deaths, 476 new cases), Italy (1,694 cases, 34 deaths, no new cases), Iran (978 cases, 54 deaths, no new cases) and Japan (239 cases, 12 deaths).
Does anyone even believe this?
ReplyDeleteWhite people will never give any blackman a chance to be the one to find the cure.
ReplyDeleteWe are in close ties with China, many are dying everyday, let them give this man a chance to test his findings.
This man lacks integrity considering his past records on the national stage,but that doesn't matter in Nigeria.Renowned and respected scientists and Viralologist worldwide have impeccable records being dedicated and ethical in their fields not people with questionable character and records as Maurice Iwu
ReplyDeleteUnmask ur ID let find out if ur a saint without a questionable character
DeletePls they should allow him to test the cure and let see what he got.
ReplyDeleteWish him well hope efcc will not go after him.
ReplyDeleteCure of Covid 19 in 2015? Was it even in existence then? Anyway, for whatever it is worth, let us see the cure.
ReplyDeleteMy point of view, let give trial to those who make attempt in finding solution to the problem...At least d result we be verified when used by the affected patients...... United we stand divided we fall 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏👍
ReplyDeleteIf the cure has not been found anywhere yet, then you cannot discredit his claim without atleast giving him a chance to prove it. That is how things are discovered; or are you implying Nigerians are too stupid to create anything?
ReplyDeleteI don't blame our country because who studied law is an accountant why inec will not discover covid-19 cure
