Lagos State Commissioner for Health, Akin Abayomi, has said that the state government spends about N40,000 to N50,000 per COVID-19 test.
He said, “Regarding the testing, we so far have performed 16,000 tests in Lagos, which is much higher than anywhere else in Nigeria, and we’re planning to continue to test up to about a thousand tests a day. “So, in the next month or two, we’re going to be ramping up our capacity to test. How much does it cost to test? Well, for now, the government is providing testing free of charge and the government pays about N40,000 to N50,000 per test.
“But to ramp up our testing, we’re going to try and use some means of subsidising those tests, either through insurance or through some contributions from donors or from developmental partners to help us to subsidise the tests. “For now, the state government is providing COVID-19 testing free of charge and all citizens who need to be tested for COVID-19 because they are not feeling well, or they’ve had a close contact, can get that test free of charge at any of our COVID-19 testing sites in the four laboratories.”

ProfAkinAbayomi Government spends N40.000. N50.000. That's why coronavirus will not live our country Nigeria.
ProfAkinAbayomi No wonder the cases won't stop increasing so that the account can balance
ProfAkinAbayomi Chai! How, please? No wonder some Governors are at war with NCDC instead of fighting to control the pandemic in their states. To them, money is the issue. Pity.
ProfAkinAbayomi Who are the useless government giving the money or buying the test kit from?
ProfAkinAbayomi Why can't anything be free in this country common testing 40-50k what if cure come comot?
ProfAkinAbayomi I knew it from the start, covid-19 is a scam in Lagos, a single test cost 40k, 40k times 199 patients, someone should do the calculations and multiply it by 70days. I am afraid now for the next few months.
ProfAkinAbayomi This is one of the reports Lagosians have been waiting for so we are not surprised. Covid19 ti k’owo wa ja.
ProfAkinAbayomi Wonderful
ProfAkinAbayomi Ok no problem heads will roll after covid 40k to treat I persin awon ole

ProfAkinAbayomi Oga no be 10k again
ProfAkinAbayomi Speechless
ProfAkinAbayomi Please don't test again before our money finishes
ProfAkinAbayomi 4k cases × N50k per test cost × 3 test and we get N600m Still well under the N1billion mark Money well spent 🙂
ProfAkinAbayomi I greet Una, attached to this tweet is common sense. Cause if it’s not expensive Nigeria does not partake in it.
RoyalChinex07 ProfAkinAbayomi Una don wako zoo country
ProfAkinAbayomi Thieves. Only 40-50k.
ProfAkinAbayomi When Senegal had already developed a kit for just one dollar for testing. We dey here dey mumu ourselves.
ProfAkinAbayomi This is prize for only testing, so how much is for a cure oga?
ProfAkinAbayomi Thieves everywhere oh Nigeria
ProfAkinAbayomi This is unbelievable. N40,000 to buy cotton wool and sticks to collect samples? Then N3000 for lab test? Fraud Covid_19
ProfAkinAbayomi ₦40billion if they are to test one million Nigerians, 40billion x 200 ? Are you not ThinkingMadagascar ?🤔

ProfAkinAbayomi Testing machine works based on subscription.
ProfAkinAbayomi Y'all got to be kidding me🤦🙆
ProfAkinAbayomi Prof Should have just keep his good name instead of being USED to give us Fake, Dubious, Unpleasant, figures here..... We know say they actually sent you.....
ProfAkinAbayomi Are u kidding me?
ProfAkinAbayomi assume that one is not there, Senegal develop a $1 testing kit and $1 is just 400+. How come you are now spending 40000 or 50000 to test one person? This is wickedness!
ProfAkinAbayomi There are three things I am so tired of in Nigeria 1. This current APC government 2. All Nigeria politicians 3. There supporters I don't know the kind of defence you want to give to this, you have shown us on TV severally the testing kits donated to us as a country. Let now..
ProfAkinAbayomi How pathetic!
ProfAkinAbayomi Baba MBuhari you have to send EFCC to dix people
ProfAkinAbayomi Scam alert be careful oo my people
ProfAkinAbayomi Time to apply for more loans
ProfAkinAbayomi This is exactly why we should not be caught napping by the next time another pandemic or epidemic comes around. South Korea literally exterminated the virus because they learnt from previous experience and quickly deployed resources to develop testing kits and tracking methods.
ProfAkinAbayomi Scam Alert.... everybody just dey cashout for this Covid-19 pandemic sha
ProfAkinAbayomi Another good reason to apply for more loan
ProfAkinAbayomi Una Weldon.
ProfAkinAbayomi This is Nigeria,see where we living at...
ProfAkinAbayomi Lies
ProfAkinAbayomi 40 - 50k for test, you just confirm sir that truly Covid-19 is a disease for the rich, how can poor man afford this?
ProfAkinAbayomi Nigerian government will never think of a way to cut cost. All they know is to call big figures
ProfAkinAbayomi 😭😭😭40,000 x 35,000 =?RIP
ProfAkinAbayomi I think something else is happening around this country!!
ProfAkinAbayomi 🙆🙆🙆
ProfAkinAbayomi By the time APC and Buhari finish their Regime; Nigeria will be so broke that we might have to Borrow money from APC/Buhari.
ProfAkinAbayomi My question is this, why can't we look for alternative and less expensive way of testing, just like other African countries? He said Lagos state has conducted about 18, 000 Covid-19 test, that's 50,000 × 18000 = 900,000, 000
ProfAkinAbayomi Covid-19 in naija na yahoo yahoo, government magic.
ProfAkinAbayomi Getting more interesting on this Covid19 issue. By the time that Lagos State alone tested 100,000 a lots of naira will have been spent. Then, how much will Nigeria as a nation spend on testing alone Until God deliver us, we can't deliver ourselves.
ProfAkinAbayomi Haha but this same commissioner for health said it is N10,000 before.
ProfAkinAbayomi If na like that make una stop the test
ProfAkinAbayomi Dasuki Gate will be a child's play after Coviik 419
ProfAkinAbayomi Nigeria!
ProfAkinAbayomi
ProfAkinAbayomi From 10k to 40 -50k They are even Corrupt in lies
ProfAkinAbayomi Everything is making more sense now though it has always been clear what the intentions were. 40k for 16k test u have 640m, 50k u have 800m. By the time covid-19 is done n over with, Naija will definitely come out on top as the highest spender in tackling this moneymakingvirus
ProfAkinAbayomi Wonderful. Ntcheew
ProfAkinAbayomi What a wawu
ProfAkinAbayomi These men 🙄 They think we all are fools 🤔
ProfAkinAbayomi We are not surprised it this amount. We would have been surprised if it was less. In fact, we were expecting some amount higher...well done, una doooo. Pls cross check and add all etc etc to have a round figure 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏
ProfAkinAbayomi Wondering how much the treatment would be then.. Shithole
ProfAkinAbayomi I'm guessing the donations made towards the covid-19 fight has been exhausted.
