As of 1 May 2020 the NCDC has carried out only 15,759 tests at a ratio of 76 persons per million been tested. The NCDC Director-General Chikwe Ihekweazu had defended the the nation's slow pace in the virus testing at a briefing with World Health Organisation on 23rd April 2020. He was quoted saying "Authorities have adopted a strategy of managed acceleration and won’t pool samples to multiply testing capacity as is currently being done in Ghana, which has rolled out one of the largest testing programs in the region, I would rather go a little bit slower and get it right than speed into a situation that we will end up regretting"

Since the start of the coronavirus pandemic, the World Health Organization (WHO) has emphasised the crucial importance of testing. Speed is of the essence, and three things are crucial: tracking down cases with symptoms; identifying their household cluster and tracing people they’ve contacted; and quarantining them until they are no longer infectious. Testing is the basis of public health detective work to shut down an epidemic. “You can’t fight a virus if you don’t know where it is,” said the WHO director general, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, recently. “Find, isolate, test and treat every case, to break the chains of transmission. Every case we find and treat limits the expansion of the disease.
