Director-General, Nigeria Centre for Disease Control, Chikwe Ihekweazu, says Nigeria is desperately in need of more ribonucleic acid COVID-19 test kits. In a tweet yesterday, the NCDC boss said [b]this became important as the country expanded testing for the virus.

We’re desperately looking for more RNA extraction kits as we expand #COVID19 testing

Product: Total viral RNA extraction kits (preferably spin column and with a lysis buffer)

Manufacturers: Qiagen, ThermoFischer, SeeGene, Inqaba, LifeRiver etc.

Nigeria with over 200,000,000 citizens conducted less than 11,000 tests while Ghana that has 30,000,000 already conducted more than 100,000 COVID-19 tests.

Are we cursed?

AroOkigbo:
Covik 1, 9 money don finish?
Another reason to approach China for loan!
In every circumstance, money must be looted.

They did not say the money has finished rather they want people who can supply more testing kits.

By the way all the donations by corporate and private individuals were made to Federal Government not to NCDC undecided

Buy more test kits then ... Since other useless corrupt ministries are closed and on the run, channel all resources from their accounts and get enough test kits. Stop being stupid by comming here to tell us.

cheesy

What exactly are they doing with the donated funds?
Crying for test kits upon donations made by well meaning Nigerians.

Anyways, whatever the case may be open us let's go and find our bellies. And FG should not forget to give Wike his own share of 10b Naira. Just a night to when we are about to be free NCDC confirm another 3 new cases in Rivers State is a plot for Wike to torment us again.

So with so much funds donated so far the are still 'desperately in need of testing kits'.

How much does all these things cost. I remembered in my Uni days, project test kits (LDH, gluthaione, ALT,AST, etc) are not usually more than 30-35k per kit and you can do more than a 100samples.
The government needs to look into this.

This was how HIV test kits were found out to be defective. And everyone tested will now be positive. The problem has always been the kits. Nafdac will not be able to certify it because of the urgent nature. NCDC, don't chase the wind. We don't have the virus here.

We are in a serious mess in this country. Invest in health sector, they heedless pay attention to it. Let me not compare Nigeria with other countries outside Africa because we will be no where to be placed. Ghana for instance has tested more than 50,000, ain't had no complain. My beloved Nigeria hasn't tested up to 11000, story has started telling itself. People of Nigeria we are all in mess.
