Possibly true. But do you know that it cost even more in the UK and most European countries for the same thing.?
In the UK, you can get a free test but you can't use that to travel. You have to pay for another test for the same test before the airlines will accept it. Talking about fraud. In Greece it's about 150 dollars while in Turkey I paid very little. Every country with their own.

WHEN EUROPEAN COUNTRIES DENIES NIGERIA ENTRY FOR COVID 19 VIOLATION.

If you have symptoms and use the ncdc portal, you can book a free covid test in Nigeria. If you have to travel and require a PCR test, you have to pay for it almost everywhere in the world. Testing to go into stadia in Cameroon is already covered by the Cameroon govt as part of its hosting responsibilities. Most countries require negative PCR test results before flying or coming in. That costs money. If other forms of testing are required, it can be cheaper.

Is a lie,there is no where in the world were covid test is totally free ,in the western world ,is not even free because u pay for health insurance and still pay a token for the test.but here our own prize tag is relatively on a higher prize
In the US, the test is free whether you have insurance or not..
But most countries do charge even more than Nigeria.
More countries are exploiting their people with these covid tests and other covid related issues way more than most Nigerians are paying.
The US govt made me pay 2200 dollars just for a one way ticket from Lagos to Washington DC on Ethiopian airlines in 2020. I had to pay upfront. Even though my final destination is not DC.
The Nigerian govt on the other hand was bringing Nigerians back home for way less . And most Nigerians were saying then that all countries were evacuating their people for free. Total lie. The UK was even worse.

These are special occasion, the government have to make it seamless and stress free without itch in the pocket thereby making provision for all and sundry in the name of "that occasion"
Assuming naija is to host the tournament same would have been done. Provision for the test would have been budgeted so as to relieve the visitors and the host citizen

My brother, it is totally free here in Germany...there are designated places all over place where you present any valid ID.

I did my tests at a pharmacy...prior to getting vaccinated, I got tested there daily for 44 days stretch without getting charged a penny.

But you might be right to some extent, for international travels, most countries charge some money, but some don't

Now I know not to believe any story you read online, you just want to incite violence for no reason. Please get your fact right before you poison people's mind.

Firstly, private laboratories are the one charging 50,400 to get the test done. It is free in public laboratories if you're using it for public health purposes and not for travelling. I am very sure it is 100% free in Oyo State.

Secondly, for the result to come out in 10minutes. It is definitely RDT(Rapid Diagnostic Test), which is free in Nigeria too.

You are talking nonsense
It’s free in Germany, Ireland and even Russia.
Immediately you call GP here that you are not feeling well then the next question is about COVID 19 test if the person will like to book an appointment which is free online or on the phone.
Do you know how many COVID test, I have done?

Here in Cameroon, no amount of money is required from any individual, both natives and foreigners, before he is tested for COVID-19. ...

... my COVID-19 test result inside Douala airport came out within five minutes. It was stamped negative. ...

Then, on Saturday morning, all journalists and fans had to do another COVID-19 test before the match between Nigeria and Sudan in Garoua. It was free, and it took less than five minutes for each of the results to come out.

What specimen was used for the covid test in Cameroon?
Was it a deep nasal swab, or was it blood?
