The Polymer Institute of Nigeria has declared its capacity and readiness to produce medical equipment for COVID-19.
This was disclosed by its National President, Professor Paul Mamza in a statement to Journalists at the weekend.
Professor Mamza, however, expressed displeasure over the non-patronage of local manufacturing for the production of medical-grade Personal Protective Equipments (PPEs) and face-masks in Nigeria during Covid-19 Pandemic.
Mamza, a Professor of Polymer Science and Technology at the Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, said: “The Institute is ever available to assist the Federal government and state governments in the production of locally made PPEs and facemasks.”
