Barrister Ogunsiji further disclosed that COVID-19 is not yet over as, reports from NCDC shows that there is surge of the pandemic in the recent days.

 

“Just yesterday, reports from National Centre for Disease Control, NCDC, shows that two persons died as a result of COVID-19 pandemic in the country, the more reason we need to protect and prevent ourselves of being infected by the pandemic.

“Aside assorted grains, medical items, VSF also donated motorized solar power boreholes to Government Girls Day Secondary School Sanyinna, in Tambuwal local government in the Southern senatorial district; Government Junior Secondary School, Asara in Gwadabawa local government in the Eastern senatorial district and Government Day Secondary School Bunkari in Binji local government in the Northern senatorial district of the State.

 

“At VSF, we are concerned to reduce children mortality rate as a result of outbreak of water borne diseases, thereby, the boreholes are not only for the schools alone but for the entire Communities. The government has the freedom to reticulate it so that when schools are on holidays the communities can benefit from the water.

 

“Our boreholes are 4000 litres solar powered, so even without light or generator as long there is sun the water will still flow, All what we have brought to Sokoto State are worth more than one hundred million naira,” she added.

 

In appreciation, Governor Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, represented by the Commissioner of Health, Dr Muhammad Ali Inname, thanked VSF for complementing government efforts in ameliorating the plight of the benefitting communities.

 

According to Tambuwal, “the state government in 2020, distributed palliatives to over 45,000 household in the state, to cushion the effects of COVID-19 pandemic.

 

“Let me seize this opportunity to once again, encourage those who are yet to be vaccinated, to do so as, the state has enough vaccines in its disposal.”
