Kwara State Technical Committee on Corona Virus
(COVID-19) will Thursday night begin fumigation of markets across the state, a
statement has said. The fumigation takes place between 7p.m. and 11p.m.
The statement said the committee had earlier consulted
with market leaders in the state on the measure.
“The fumigation exercise will extend to other parts of
the state in the coming days. It is part of the government’s holistic approach
to prevent the spread of COVID-19 in Kwara State and keep the people safe,” it
added.
The government, meanwhile, has commended corporate
organisations and private individuals who have also donated to the humanitarian
cause — apart from the donors that had earlier been acknowledged.
“The government hereby expresses its appreciation to
various organisations and individuals who continue to donate to the efforts to
keep Kwara people safe. Specifically, we commend Tuyil Pharmaceuticals Limited
for donating N10m to the cause; Mr Yusuf Ali (SAN) for donating N5m; the Head
of Service and the Forum of Serving Permanent Secretaries in Kwara State for
donating 40% of their March salary; the Forum of Retired Permanent Secretaries
in Kwara Dtate for giving us N500,000,” it stated.
“Similarly, we are grateful to HMA Medical Limited for
donating N2m to the cause; Bioraj Pharmaceuticals for the gift of N1m; OFM
Charity Foundation in collaboration with Yusuf Olaolu Ali Foundation which
donated 2000 bottles of hand sanitisers to the government; Ambassador Yahaya
Seriki for donating 720 bottles of sanitisers; and DIG Bolanta for lending his
industrial sprayers for fumigation of markets.”
The statement also commended eight-year-old Akinduro
Oluwapamilerin who donated his savings of N1,120 to the state government’s
anti-COVID-19 campaign.
“The government is definitely impressed by this rare
show of altruism, and is confident of Pamilerin becoming a leader of his
generation,” it stated.
The government also commended individuals and corporate
organisations who have agreed to channel their palliatives to the ward
committees earlier announced by the subcommittee on palliatives, saying such
measures would ensure social distancing and temperature measurement of
beneficiaries, among other safety protocols.
