A private sector-led DNA testing centre has expanded its operations to Lekki, targeting the highbrow neighbourhoods of Lekki, Ajah, and Epe areas, as well as surrounding communities.
Smart DNA, known for its commitment to providing fully accredited DNA testing services in line with the highest international standards, aims to make a comprehensive range of DNA tests more accessible to residents across Lagos and beyond with its new facility.
Esther Ehimare, client experience manager at Smart DNA, expressed excitement about the opening of the new office in Lekki, stating that it brings trusted DNA testing services closer to the vibrant communities of the rapidly developing area. She emphasized the company’s mission to offer convenient, accurate, and confidential DNA testing solutions to individuals and families across Nigeria.
Studies by geneticists have indicated that a significant percentage of firstborn children do not belong to their supposed fathers, contributing to the demand for paternity tests. Individual reports of exposed affairs resulting in paternity fraud have further fueled interest in the confirmation of genetic ties, creating a crucial service gap that companies like Smart DNA aim to fill.
At the new Lekki office, clients can access a full suite of DNA testing services, including paternity tests, maternity tests, sibling tests, grandparent tests, as well as diagnostic, wellness, and disease predisposition tests. Smart DNA emphasizes its commitment to simplicity, accuracy, confidentiality, and affordability, assuring that its operations maintain the highest standards of quality and privacy.
Elizabeth Digia, operation head at Smart DNA, highlighted the importance of reliable DNA testing results and the company’s priority in maintaining the highest standards of quality and privacy. With non-invasive sample collection methods, fast turnaround times, and competitive pricing, Smart DNA aims to provide a seamless and trustworthy DNA testing experience for its clients in the Lekki area and beyond.
