The Vice Chancellor (VC) of Michael Okpara University of Agriculture, Umudike, in Abia, Professor Francis Otunta, has confirmed the discovery of the treatment and cure of HIV/AIDS.
Otunta said that the finding took years of scientific research by the institution.
He added that the breakthrough was made by a researcher in the university identified as Prof. Maduike Ezeibe,
The VC said that Ezeibe had presented the drug to the University management, Senate and Council, colleagues in the medical field and nobody had contradicted his finding.
He also explained the processes he went through to arrive at his finding.
“Prof. Ezeibe is a researcher in Veterinary Medicine and one may wonder how he discovered a drug to cure a human ailment,” he said.
Otunta continued that the institution was in the process of mass production of the drug.
Ezeibe is a professor of Veterinary Medicine and Clinical Virology.
He revealed that the drug was produced with Aluminum Silicate and Magnesium Silicate (Synthetic Aluminum-Magnesium Silicate).
According to him, the medicine could be a major foreign exchange earner for Nigeria, if approved by relevant authorities.
Ezeibe said he presented the research findings to the World Virology Conference in Atlanta in 2015, and Antonio (Texas) in 2016.
He disclosed that he is set to sign a memorandum of understanding with a U.S.-based Scientific Research Publishing, publishers of World Journal of AIDS, for the publication of his book “How I came about the cure for HIV/AIDS”.
He said: “If commercialised, the Medicinal Synthetic Aluminum-Magnesium Silicate would become an alternative for petroleum to the Nigerian economy.”
