The Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE) has committed N100 million to support the fight against the Coronavirus pandemic in Nigeria.
A breakdown indicated that a total of N60 million would be donated to the Capital Market Support Committee for COVID-19 while the balance of N40 million would be committed to NSE’s “Masks for All Nigerians” campaign.
This initiative comes on the back of a growing call for the use of masks as an effective measure in slowing the spread of COVID-19. With the increasing body of evidence that the use of masks by the populace could slow the spread of coronavirus, several countries, including the United States of America, Austria, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Canada, and Nigeria to name a few, have adopted this control measure.
“Through our media enlightenment engagement, we will raise awareness on the proper use of masks, continue to encourage adherence to the guidelines that have been provided by relevant agencies and emphasize that wearing of masks alone is not enough protective measure against COVID-19.
