The story about senegal making its OWN $1 test kit is nothing but a half-truth.

I would have been happy at the simple fact that something good is finally coming out of Africa if not for the fact that most narrators are only trying to belittle the efforts of the Nigerian gov't.
The establishment at the root of the news in an international collaboration established since 1896. The IDP ( institute Dakar Le Pasteur) is managed by France in collaboration with the Senegalese gov't. The UK government recently gave the institute £40m for this new work.
So it's clear that the 'senegalese' New test kit is an international collaboration located in Dakar. There is no need to start 'dragging ' Nigeria or Buhari or NCDC with this news.

In fact, the release of the #covid19 test kit is still being awaited.
We should all applaud the new rapid test when work on it is finished and we would all rejoice with all humanity for the new success.

In the meantime, value and support your own.
