“The high incidence of confirmed cases of the Coronavirus makes it germane for Lagos State to have more isolation centers.
“These facilities will expedite the recuperation process of infected persons and reduce the risk of transmission to a minimal level. As a result, we deem it fit to corroborate the efforts of our esteemed Governor by donating the aforementioned center with its impressive facilities.
“In times like this our collaborative efforts become critical to the success of the fight against COVID-19. We will be making donations to Kaduna state in the North, Edo state in South South and Abia State in the East as well.
