Victims Support Programme (VSF) has explained that it decided to provide boreholes, hand washing machines and sanitisers in 54 secondary schools across the the country to support the fight against Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19).
VSF, which was set up by the Federal Government to rehabilitate, settle and empower victims of terrorism in the North East, but had its scope widened in 2020 to accommodate other parts of the country following the ravaging COVID-19, stated that the idea was also to improve hygiene in secondary schools.
Speaking in Enugu State, during the commissioning of solar-powered boreholes, hand wash stations and other COVID-19 facilities, the Chairperson of VSF Taskforce on COVID-19, Mrs. Toyosi Akerele-Ogunsiji, stated that three South East states of Abia, Enugu and Anambra benefitted.
