President Muhammadu Buhari has commended public-spirited Nigerians and organisations for their financial and material support towards the fight against the coronavirus pandemic.


Citing the provision of isolation, treatment and laboratory centres/facilities by individuals and companies such as Alhaji Aliko Dangote, Alhaji Abdulsamad Rabiu, Guaranty Trust Bank, and Thisday Newspapers and Partners among others in several states and Federal Capital Territory, the President called on other privileged Nigerians and bodies to emulate these commendable gestures.


According to President Buhari: “We are facing a national challenge and all hands must be on deck to navigate this difficult course. In this respect, all types of assistance are welcome, big or small. The spirit behind the contributions is salutary.”


Records obtained from the Office of the Accountant-General of the Federation about lodgments from 111 individuals and organisations into the FGN Covid-19 Eradication Support Accounts in the five designated banks between April 1-30, 2020, indicated the total sum of N697, 538, 108.00.


The above consists of small payments of N5, N10, N14, and N20 by individuals to huge deposits of N200 million by Dantata Property Development; N100 million by Ocean Trust Limited; N25 million by NSITF; N20 million by Ebele and Anyichuks Foundation; N15 million by Nizamiya Hospital Abuja and N10 million each by Full Gospel Business Men’s Fellowship and Association of Bureau De Change (BDC) respectively, among others.
