FG promises N36m as four scientists present solutions to COVID-19
ON MARCH 8, 2020.



By Therese Nanlong
Following the promise of N36m by the federal Ministry of Science and Technology to any scientist who is able to find not just a cure but a better way of managing the Coronavirus and Lassa fever, four scientists in the country have laid claim to having solutions to the ravaging diseases.

The Minister of Science and Technology, Dr. Ogbonnaya Onu disclosed this at the weekend in Jos.

Speaking on the sideline of the National Youth Summit of the Middle Belt Youth Council where he delivered a keynote address, the Minister stated the claims have been handle over top the Nigerian Academy of Science where a standing Committee has been set up to assess all the claims.

Dr. Onu stressed Nigerians are highly intellectual people with capacity to proffer solutions to world problems hence the need to motivate the scientists to give their best in their researches.


According to him, “I have had occasion to travel round and met with many people, I am convinced that Nigeria has some of the most intelligent people in the world, when we have problems, I don’t want us to be looking at others for solutions. We should look inward for Nigerians that can solve the problems so we looked at the budget of the Ministry and decided to encourage our scientists and motivate them.

“We are very serious, so far, we have received about four scientists who sent information that they have what they believe can lead to a cure. The Nigerian Academy of Science has a committee of the very best in this area that can assess the claims, it is not us at the Ministry that will look at it, the Academy would subject the claim scrutiny and analysis.

“If there are problems in the world, we must make contributions, I am sure all of us would be proud if the cure for these diseases comes from Nigeria.”

Garlic. Where will I collect the money

Dr Ogbonnaya Onu, as a person I like him.

But as with other Buhari minister, he is easily one of the worst Ministers of Science and Tech in Nigeria's history.

No clue whatsover

How has the mighty f.......

As the years pass, I am coming more and more to understand that it is the common, everyday blessings of our common everyday lives for which we should be particularly grateful. They are the things that fill our lives with comfort and our hearts with gladness -- just the pure air to breathe and the strength to breath it; just warmth and shelter and home folks; just plain food that gives us strength; the bright sunshine on a cold day; and a cool breeze when the day is warm.

No to Corona Virus
