Africa’s richest man Aliko Dangote and a top Nigerian entrepreneur have launched a coalition of private sector organizations to support the country’s efforts aimed at stemming the spread of the coronavirus, local media reported.

In a joint statement Wednesday, Dangote, who heads Dangote Industries Limited, and Wigwe, who is the managing director of the Access Bank Group, announced launching the of the Coalition Against Coronavirus (COCAVID).

The initiative will involve set up of “fully-equipped medical tents” to be used for housing patients as well as serve as training, testing, isolation and treatment centers.

The coalition will also provide a separate facility in Nigeria’s Victoria Island of Lagos state, according to local The Nation newspaper.

COCAVID's task included mobilizing the private sector in shaping public awareness, as well as directing support for both private and public health institutions, according to the daily.

“COVID-19 affects us all and threatens our collective health – economic, social, psychological and physical wellbeing; hence, the urgent need to work together to beat this common enemy,” the local Today website quoted Dangote as commenting on the coalition.

“To win this battle, it is critical we all come together as one,” he added.

The total number of COVID-19 cases in Nigeria is 51, with one death, according to data compiled by the U.S.-based John Hopkins University.

After first appearing in Wuhan, China, last December, the novel coronavirus has spread to at least 175 countries and territories.

The data shows more than 491,600 cases have been reported worldwide since last December, with the death toll above 22,160 and over 118,200 successful recoveries.

Yildiz:
he donated money to FG and Lagos State Government. Why is it wrong for him to donate to his home today. He still has blood relatives and most are in Kano. It is only logically for him to donate to Kano State as well

omoadeleye:
Isolation centre dan almost plenty pass patients self.

naptu2:




He was one of the first people to donate to Lagos. He initially donated money to Lagos (that was in February) and then in March he and Access Bank donated more items to Lagos, including an isolation centre on Victoria Island.

Why not donate to lasgos or abuja that are the worst hit presently

Does this mean Dangote has foreseen the virus spreading all over Kano?

Kano does not have a single case yet and they are already building 600 bed space. Yesterday it was 240 bed isolation center in Anambra yet they have no confirmed case. Lagos is building multiple centres and begging American companies on Twitter for ventilators.

Is there something our leaders know that we dont know?

Is it that they are convinced within them that we will have countless thousands of cases in the country no matter how much we stay indoors?

We need to prepare for something big then. We are in it for big sh1t.

Our health sector would sure enjoy a boast after covid is gone. Respect Sir

makewetalk2:
they will steal and sell everything after covid

0taPiaPia:


My thoughts though. That's why I said everyone should keep track of this donated equipment so we can track them after covid is gone. They can steal the monetery donations since it's not in our account

if any person should find himself in this center especially during this heat season, his life would not remain the same
