Elon Musk: Nigerians drag finance ministry for begging Tesla boss for ventilators

Nigerians have dragged the Federal Ministry of Finance, Budget and National Planning for requesting for ventilators from Tesla chief executive, Elon Musk, via Twitter.

The ministry wrote late Wednesday in response to a tweet by Mr Musk, saying Nigeria needs about 100 to 500 ventilators to help with the fight against the coronavirus.

Nigerians on Twitter say the ministry should have been decent enough to make a formal request to the billionaire.
