I don't think there are usually more than one test center in a state. Even the ones who claim to be test centers usually take the sample to the approved lab. For example, in Lagos, Lagos Bio Bank is where they take their samples to and that is where I did mine.

You're right brother. Many of the Labs (especially private ones) still had to transport samples taken to designated lab, which seem to be impacting on the result processing time obviously.

Go to SYNLAB at Bodija,Ibadan. They delivered my result to my mail within 48hours.

Thanks a lot for the clue. SYNLAB actually came up in many of my previous searches on Google before deciding to come here.

Dear Nairalanders,

Okay, so I came into the country sometime mid-December and I did my repeat covid-19 test as required by government 7 days after, just before Xmas at the only listed Covid-19 test center in Ibadan (Medicaid Radio-Diagnostics Clinics, Adeoyo Junction) on the government website since it was the closest (and only listed) test center to me. However, up until now I'm yet to get my test result even after follow up email and call to the test center, and despite claims that the result takes just only 3 days (72 hours) max to deliver.

Now my concern - I need to do another Covid-19 test for my return flight out of Nigeria, so I'd appreciate if anyone can kindly recommend other good test centers apart from the above mentioned one preferably in Ibadan with better delivery and turn around time.

Thanks in advance.

Hi All,

Can anyone here please give a summarized steps involved in applying for an SA student visa? Do we apply at the embassy or at VFS? And a comprehensive list of all documents to be submitted? I do have an admission already.

Let's vote.
Like for Abuja, Share for Lagos.

Thank you guys for all the insightful comments.
I've read through it and hopefully I'll be able to make an an informed decision.

Hello everyone - Ok, so I currently hold a Master's degree and I also recently gained admission into a PhD program in a UK university but with no funding from the school and the estimated total cost of the tuition and living expenses amount to about #16 million for the 3 years.
So, I decided to come seek the opinion of folks here with better experience if it really worth spending this amount in the long run or should I rather invest this amount?
Thanks in advance!
