The Chairman of Innoson Vehicle Manufacturing Company (IVM), Chief Innocent Ifediaso Chukwuma, has said that his company can produce ventilators to help fight the corona pandemic in Nigeria.
Speaking in an interview with TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) on what his company can do to help to combat the spread of covid-19 in the country, Innoson said:“I can produce ventilators. When they want to jump from analog to digital we bought some equipment that can be used to produce ventilators. If the government is in need of ventilators we are in a position to produce ventilators locally.”’
Meanwhile a financial analyst, Mr.Charles Olojede has advised the government to make use of all those who have the capacity to help the country out of the corona virus.
Olojede who spoke on how the Corona virus is adversely affecting the nation’s economy said the government should not waste time as other countries are flooding the market with what they can produce locally.
He said that if one actually look at our economy and the breakdown of the GDP, the only problem is that the government still significantly derives its revenue from a particular sector which is oil and gas.
“We are still focusing majorly on oil. It is about the right time to pass the PIB bill.’
He regretted that China which Nigeria relies on to get most of her products is now stuck due to COVID-19. And most of our goods are stuck in China.
TheNewsGuru.com reports that for patients with the worst effects of the corona virus infection, a ventilator offers the best chance of survival. Simply put, a ventilator takes over the body’s breathing process when disease has caused the lungs to fail. This gives the patient time to fight off the infection and recover.
