Following the laudable donation of an Oligo synthesizer equipment to NIMR by the MTN Foundation in 2021, The Director-General of NIMR, Prof. Babatunde Lawal Salako held a joint meeting with the NIMR Oligosynthesis Laboratory Team and the management of the MTN Foundation represented by the Executive Secretary, Mrs Sanya Odunayo on the 20th April 2022 to give a progress report of Oligonucleotides that have been synthesized in NIMR. Challenges faced after the installation of the machine, actions taken, as well as sustainability plans, were part of the highlights of the meeting.
The meeting also provided the opportunity to identify ways to strengthening the NIMR-MTN Foundation partnership.
