The former chairman of the Independent National Electorate Commission, and the CEO of Bioresouces Development Group Prof Maurice Iwu has lamented that Buhari’s government has not shown interest in the drug and has ignored it.
He spoke at a conference in Lagos via Zoom with the title: “Covid-19 and the proposed Vaccination Bill: Implications for Nigeria,”
I urge the National Assembly to call for public hearing on the issue. lawmakers should direct concerned agencies to validate the effectiveness of the drug”. 
The former INEC chairman said: “Government needs to show interest in our drug, the money raised by private sectors can be deployed, it does not need to come to Prof. Iwu, it is information, the product is ours, but the information is already outside. There must be interest on the part of government that they want to test the drug, once the government shows interest, every other thing will fall in place.”
It was reported that Professor Maurice Iwu had led a group of researchers that discovered a possible plant-based patented treatment for COVID-19, which was recently presented to the Minister of Science and Technology, Dr. Ogbonnaya Onu.
