Buhari Commends Dangote Foundation for N200m Donation to Fight Coronavirus
President Muhammadu Buhari Wednesday in Abuja commended Aliko Dangote Foundation for donating N200 million to assist in combating the influx of Covid-19 into the country.
The president recalled that the organisation had in the past donated N1 billion to fight Ebola Virus Disease in Africa, challenging other well-to-do individuals and groups to emulate the foundation. In a statement, the president’s media adviser, Mr. Femi Adesina, quoted Buhari as saying, “Hand in hand, standing shoulder to shoulder, we can confront our challenges as a country. This is a path for us all to follow as a people.”
The statement said the president reiterated his earlier charge to Nigerians to take the necessary hygiene precautions, rather than panic about the disease as a result of the discovery of the index case in the country last week. It added that the president said governments at various levels had the responsibility of ensuring that the country and her people remain safe from the virus, which he said is spreading rapidly in many parts of the world.
