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.

Onu said,”They are testing it in the US to confirm whether this could be a cure for Covid -19 or SARS.”
