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.”
