As the world is uniting to fight the deadly Coronavirus Disease, which has ravaged over 150 countries across the globe, one of the prominent Non-Governmental Organizations in Africa, Arise Women, has concluded plans to support the Lagos State Government with Ventilators and Personal Protective Equipments in tackling the virus by donating some vital equipment to further stop the spread.
Led by a Lawyer of 35 years cognate experience, Dr. Siju Iluyomade, Arise Women has procured several surgical masks, sanitisers, hand gloves, ventilators and many other safety kits that will be presented to the government of Lagos State, which has been the epicentre of COVID-19 in Nigeria since the first case was recorded in the country on February 27, 20202.
The organization, which has always been in the forefront of several empowerment and humanitarian activities over the years building Hospitals, Schools, Mobile Clinics and empowering over 50,000 Nigerians irrespective of tribe or religion, is joining other well meaning Nigerians and corporate bodies who have come together to support government of the day in the war against COVID-19.
According to Siju, as she is fondly called: “The times call for payers and goodwill.
“Let’s remember the poor.
“Let’s reach out with food, hand wash, sanitisers, gloves, masks.
“Please let’s remember the health workers, Doctors, Nurses, Lab technicians, cleaners, who are all on the frontline, let’s pray for them and their families.”
