SIFAX Group has donated protective equipment to the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) as part of efforts to further strengthen the fight against Coronavirus.

Philips Ojo, Corporate Affairs officer of the Group communicated this in an electronic mail to our correspondent on Tuesday.

He stated in the statement that the donation was made through the Nigerian Ports Authority Liaison office at Tin Can Island.

The statement read, “At the short ceremony, Capt. Ibraheem Olugbade, Executive Director, SIFAX Off Dock, explained that as an organization committed to flattening the curve and curbing the spread of COVID-19, SIFAX Group is donating 100 cartons of hand sanitizers, 200 boxes of hand gloves, 20 packs of special nose masks and 100 boxes of nose masks to the Nigerian Ports Authority.

In his response, Alhaji Abubakar Umar Ali, NPA Port Manager, Tin Can Island, thanked SIFAX Group for the kind gesture and noted that the equipment will be adequately reported to the NPA headquarters and put to use.

Recall that private organisations and public corporations have donated towards curtailing the pandemic since it broke out in Nigeria in February.
