Billionaire Aliko Dangote has donated a mobile laboratory able to handle 400 samples daily to augment the testing capacity in Kano state. Governor Abdullahi Ganduje revealed this on Saturday during a press briefing organised by the state taskforce on covid-19 which took place at the Africa House in Kano. He disclosed that the test centre, with daily capacity of taking 400 samples, is expected to arrive Kano Monday.

According to Ganduje, “As we are targeting more Testing Centres in the state, the richest man in Africa, Alhaji Aliko Dangote is donating Mobile Testing Centre with the capacity of testing 400 people daily. The facility is coming to Kano in the next two days, by Monday.”

He lamented about the rising cases of positive COVID-19 patients in the state, describing it as “a thing of great concern.” He said, “Though we are aware that with the bouncing back of the Aminu Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital Testing Centre with the capacity of 88 samples per day, and the coming up of another Testing Centre at Bayero University, Kano, with the capacity of 20 samples per day, would mean another rise in the identified positive cases.”

The audio billionaires from the land of children of hate was making sure that their people were well taken care of with different type of palliatives but the real billionaires turn their face on your region and allow hunger and one million boys to wire your region well well and allow federal government to share expired rice for your region as palliative

Ok. Kano keep getting gifts. Why them no go misbehave?

FG got audio billions. I suspect probably the FG is the chief financier of these donations. If not, why is that the people don't benefit? Nigeria headed by this guy calls for questioning. Why the North dey wield somuch power sef?

Well-done, although he's using Abu's money to entertain Abu

You should know the world does not revolve around Nairaland

Just because it's not posted on Nairaland for you to see doesn't mean people were not donating.

As long as you don't give him cash it's fine

The audio billionaires made sure their people don't go stealing from buses carrying food materials in the name of being hungry.
First a full street jumped on a private bus carrying bread and stole everything not minding the effect on the owner and just yesterday another bus carrying food materials was attacked and everything stolen by a complete street in the name of being hungry.
Some people or a particular tribe has shown to be very poor in wealth and moral.

Good! Way to go.

Atleast he has the money nd he is doing something good nd worthwhile with it unlike some ppl who are making others dance naked or promote nudity. Atleast make we truly know if na the heat or lack of rain dey kill ppl

Sincerely, i don't know what u are talking abt and i don't know where u think i'm from. But bro, save ur strength; the north is the poorest part of the country. I have thousands of them here as occupational beggars. Ur Dangote sef money noh get positive impact for my life.

.

This is very lovely news. Dangote knows the things that are most important and is doing his best to provide them.

He should probably monitor the project by himself not that Gandolla

May almighty God help us out in this kind of situation we currently find ourselves all over the world now amen

Ganduje would prefer dollar

Why not caution the stupid guy that started it first?

Well,it's not posted on nairaland because hardly anyone is donating.The ones who donated, sent money to a thieving government.

Watch as this sincere effort with stair anger in the hearts of brother(they know themselves)

How some people are castigating Ganduje for relaxing the curfew to allow people to stock food, is what I don't understand. Do you expect Kano people to stay indoors without food? Anywhere lockdown was imposed, there is special arrangement to allow people acquire some basic needs. Why would Kano case be different?. Beside, before the lockdown declared by Mr. President on Monday, there was an existing one declared by the state. People were expecting for the one day window to stock food on Thursday, just to hear that lock down was extended by another two weeks, and you expect Kano people to stay indoors without food for another two weeks abi?

Aliko Dangote!

A very nice gesture. I think the FG should ask him how he did.

I mean, if only one man could do this, the FG should be able to afford it in every state. Maybe even x2 of such in each state.


How much do you think it cost him? I don't just want to think the Government is not just ready to do the needful this time.

With all the money they mention everyday, I just think they can achieve alot more than we are seeing now.

It's well.
