COVID-19: Businessman donates N25million to Cross River
A businessman in Cross River has donated N25 million to the Cross River State Government to aid the state in its fight against the novel coronavirus.
Mr Ekpenyong said out of the N25 million, N10 million would be given to the Cross River State Taskforce Response Team on COVID-19, while N15 million would be used to procure food and medical supplies, including 5,000 hand sanitisers and 75,000 face masks for residents across the state. Mr Ekpenyong praised Mr Ayade for his “timely intervention” in stopping vehicles from entering Cross River in the outbreak of the coronavirus.
