The Coalition Against COVID-19 , a private sector initiative established to fight the COVID-19 pandemic, has donated N220 million medical equipment to the Oyo State Government.The CACOVID team lead in-charge of Oyo and Osun states, Dr Timothy Aroowogun, made the donation on behalf of the coalition.
Receiving the donation, Governor Seyi Makinde, represented by his deputy, Rauf Olaniyan, appreciated the CACOVID team for the initiative.He gave an assurance that all the donated medical equipment and supplies would be deployed to the soon to be opened Saki 100-bed isolation and treatment centre. “The reason we need to have an observatory is because Saki is a border town and many people come in from different parts of the West African states, especially Burkina Faso and Benin Republic, they come in through that area,” he said.
“On many occasions, people have made donations that are good on paper but in terms of usefulness, probably not as good.
