A former chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Prof. Maurice Iwu, claims that his team has discovered a cure for the deadly coronavirus.
Iwu made this known on Monday, March 2, 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.
The professor, who is the Chief Executive Officer of Bioresources Institute of Nigeria, said the institute discovered the possible COVID 19 treatment in 2015.
Iwu added that the institute is in need of the federal government’s support to translate the compound into a drug for the treatment of the virus.
