Nigerians in China have donated cartons of hand sanitisers to the Federal Government(FG)

Nigerians in China have donated cartons of hand sanitisers worth over N5 million to the Federal Government(FG) in support of effort to curtail the spread of Coronavirus disease that is currently ravaging the world.

Those who made the donation include Nigerian students resident in Wuhan,  China, Nigerian Patriots, China, and Nigerians in Diaspora Organisation (NIDO), China.

NIDO coordinator in Guangdong Province and Blue Diamond Logistics boss, Mr. Festus Mbisiogu, disclosed this in Lagos while presenting the materials to the chairman of  Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NIDCOM), Hon Abike Debiri-Edewo, who was represented by Prof. A. A. Bamigboye.

 

Mbisiogu noted that COVID 19 is a dangerous pandemic that is fast spreading, saying the fight against it should not be left for government alone.

He said:  “COVID is ravaging the whole world killing thousands of people and ruining economies, with poverty on the increase. For a developing country like Nigeria, where we are facing the challenges of funds and infrastructure deficit, it would be counter-productive if the fight is left for the federal and state governments alone. This is a time that all patriotic hands must be joined to stop the spread of the disease.

“That is why we in China decided to take the lead in being the first diaspora groups to make our contributions towards the fight against Coronavurus. In the first instance, we are donating hand sanitisers worth over N5 million.
