Private Laboratory Owners Seek More FG, States Funding

Stakeholders in the laboratory profession have called on the Nigerian government as well as State Governors to put more funds into laboratory research works to stem the capital flight crisis the country is facing due to foreign testing by Nigerians.

The call was made on Tuesday at the celebration of the 2024 World Laboratory Day by Independent Laboratory Owners in Nigeria, which held at Lagos.

The gathering which was aimed at calling attention to the need for people to undergo laboratory testing, included stakeholders in the laboratory profession among whom were industrialists, laboratory workers and owners as well as students.

Part of the advocacy effort include a live Television interview programme named ‘Kutuhai’ on the Broadcasting Corporation of Oyo State (BCOS), where the immediate past President of Society of Testing Laboratory Analysts of Nigeria, Dr. Femi Oyediran discussed the essence of the day in relation to public health.

In his address at the event with the theme “The Future Is Lab,” which held at LCCI Conference Center in Lagos, the Chairman of the occasion, Mr. Ademilola Adebayo, congratulated the practitioners on the annual celebration, saying the future of public health depended on laboratory of now and years to come, as there was no limit to innovation, scientific and technological breakthroughs. He went further to say “frontiers of knowledge must be expanded for meaningful growth and development.

In Nigeria however, the theme “Building The Culture of Testing For Healthy Living and Development” was chosen to address the peculiarity of our sovereign State. Culture of testing means continuously engaging in the conduct and observation of experiments and drawing valid conclusions, developing and sustaining this culture will lead to the production of good, safe and quality products that will meet national standard.

As testing laboratory professional of over five decades, the Chairman said there is need to build the culture of testing now than ever before, in order for people to live a healthy life and develop the nation.”

The body called for the urgent review of the practice by some regulatory agencies in the interest of Nigerians and the trade by curbing the unwholesome practice of allowing untested products or materials to be registered or circulated in the market. This is currently common in the country.

The President of SoTLAN, Prof. Olugbenga Ogunmoyela who was represented at the occasion by the first Vice President, Mr. Bolawa Gbolahan also advocated for the need to build a testing culture by Nigerians, adding that the laboratories play a vital role in ensuring the quality and safety of products, safeguarding public health and fostering economic development. He asked the federal and State governments to fund laboratory to broaden the frontiers of public health and reduce capital flight in the sector.

The Registrar and Secretary to the Council, Mr. Aliyu A. Angara, who was represented by Dr. Wole Opeoluwa congratulated all participants and called for reaffirmation of the commitment of the stakeholders to excellence, innovation, and collaboration. According to him, “together, let us strive to overcome challenges, embrace opportunities, and continue driving progress in the field of analysis for public health and of laboratory science in general.
