The Benue State Government has fabricated a disinfectant tunnel from locally-sourced materials.
Also, it has fabricated ventilators as well as a digital hand washer.
The State Commissioner of Energy, Science and Technology, Dr. Godwin Oyiwona, whose ministry recently made the breakthrough, noted that the disinfection tunnels, one of such already in use at the Government House in Makurdi, has the capability not just for COVID-19 but to dispel all forms of airborne diseases.
Oyiwona intimated that when the tunnels are finally released into the markets, they would force down the high prices of the machine worth over N12 million whereas the ministry fabricated same at its workshop at only N2.5million production cost per unit.
