HIV/AIDS Cure Discovered in Nigeria by University Professor
Prof. Francis Otunta, the Vice Chancellor (VC), Michael Okpara
University of Agriculture, Umudike, in Abia, has confirmed the discovery
of a new drug for the treatment and cure of HIV/AIDS.
Otunta said the finding followed years of scientific research by the institution. He said that the breakthrough was made by Prof. Maduike Ezeibe, a researcher in the university.
According to him, Ezeibe had presented the drug to the University management, Senate and Council, where he explained the processes he went through to arrive at his finding.

According to him, Ezeibe had presented the drug to the University management, Senate and Council, where he explained the processes he went through to arrive at his finding.
The VC also said that Ezeibe had equally presented the drug to his
colleagues in the medical field and nobody had contradicted 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 said that the university was in the process of mass producing the drug for further clinical trials on persons living with HIV/AIDS in the country.
Ezeibe, who is a professor of Veterinary Medicine and Clinical Virology, said that the drug was produced with Aluminum Silicate and Magnesium Silicate (Synthetic Aluminum-Magnesium Silicate).
He said the medicine could be a major foreign exchange earner for Nigeria, if approved by relevant authorities.
Ezeibe said that he presented the research findings to the World Virology Conference in Atlanta in 2015, and Antonio (Texas) in 2016.

He said that he was also about 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”.
Ezeibe, who said that the medicine was patented in August 2014 in Nigeria, called on the FG to help him to secure international patency for the drug.
He said: “If commercialized, the Medicinal Synthetic Aluminum-Magnesium Silicate would become an alternative for petroleum to the Nigerian economy.”
