“Since the outbreak of COVID-19, over 400 JOHESU members have been infected by Coronavirus. We need to support our own members who are working and sacrificing their lives for the generality of Nigerians, “Biobelemoye said.
Responding, the Permanent Secretary, Federal Ministry of Health Abdulaziz Mashi said the Federal Government was appreciative of any donation made by public-spirited Nigerians towards curbing the pandemic.
