The validation took place at the National Biotechnology Development Agency in Abuja Nigeria. This success is not limited to Nigeria along but to Africa as a whole, the project is to help put an end to the shortage of reagents for testing the virus in the whole of Africa. The project is a Pan-African project which include, Ethiopia, NCDC, University of Sheffield Uk and many others with the African Development Bank to support funding. Interestingly, the RNASwift Test kit was developed by a Nigerian Dr Alison Nwokeoji at the University of Sheffield, Uk. This comes to say, Nigerians could be producti...
