When your contries innovative drive is so low,
Innovation in a particular area occurs only when it's relevance is of no use and the knowledge for such an innovation is open to the public.
If covid 19 were to be as dangerous as earlier portrayed, a country like Nigeria might have been reduced by 40% before it makes a giant stride towards making test kit of it's own.
At this phase of the country, Nigeria should have private companies designing and
producing millitary apparatus.At this phase Nigerian construction company should be the Nigerian'a best construction company.
Kudos to the test kit company. But the country needs to start seeking for more innovative mind and providing succur to those with innovation but has no money to implement them.
Nigerian's are becoming so money consious that innovation is now not part of their first tier and second tier plan. This will cost us more in the future.
