Nigerian Scientists On The Verge Of Producing Cure For Coronavirus

The Federal Government (FG) says Nigerian scientists are on the verge of producing a cure for the coronavirus.

According to the FG, a committee from the Nigeria Academy of Science has been constituted to verify the claims of four scientists who say they have found the cure for Coronavirus and Lassa Fever.

Speaking on the matter, the minister of science and technology, Doctor Ogbonnaya Onu insisted that there are strong indications that Nigeria is about to record a major breakthrough for the cure of the ravaging diseases.

Doctor Onu said the government is offering thirty-six million naira (N36,000,000) as an incentive to Nigerian scientists to enable them research into the cure for the virus.




A Nigerian scientist, Professor Maurice Iwu had earlier claimed that he has the cure to Covid-19. Similarly, three other scientists have also joined Iwu to take the minister’s challenge as they submit their claims for verification at the Nigerian Academy of Science.

Dr Onu in a recent chat with newsmen said he is convinced that Nigeria has some of the most intelligent people in the world.
