The Minister of Science and Technology, Dr Ogbonanya Onu, has said the United States is conducting tests on a ‘chemical compound’ isolated by ex-Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, Prof. Maurice Iwu, as a possible cure for coronavirus.
He dismissed reports suggesting that Iwu had found a cure for the disease, adding that his initial finding was that the compound could cure SARS.
The Minister, however, said that the United States is conducting tests on the chemical compound to ascertain whether or not it can be used to cure the dreaded Covid-19 currently ravaging the globe.
