President Muhammadu Buhari has approved the patent right for the production and consumption of the Nigerian antiretroviral drug for the cure of HIV/ AIDS developed by Prof. Maduike Ezeibe, a renowned researcher at the Michael Okpara University of Agriculture, Umudike in Abia State.
The researcher was also given financial assistance by the Abia State government and the management of Michael Okpara University of Agriculture Umudike to carry out more trials on the efficacy of the drug both within and outside the country.
Professor Ezeibe’s claims recently to have found a cure for the dreaded scourge, using Aluminium Magnasium Silicate (AMS) and simple sugar to attack the virus in any part of the body, including the “sanctuary cells” had raised some criticisms and skepticisms from many circles despite his claims of cure for over 10 patients and research findings published in international journals.
