COVID-19: AMBSAA Donates Medical Equipment to NCDC

Alliance Manchester Business School Alumni Association (AMBSAA) Nigerian Chapter, has donated palliative items worth over N2 million to the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC), in Yaba, Lagos.

The President, Alliance Manchester Business School, UK (Nigeria Chapter), Mr. Ishmael Nwokocha, said the purpose of the donation was to support the NCDC and government fight the spread of the pandemic.

Meanwhile,  some of the items donated included, face masks, anti-bacteria hand wash, ethyl rubbing spirit, hand gloves, hypo bleach, towels, cotton wool, methylated spirit, industrial mob bucket, and clinical dustbin.

Nwokocha said, “In as much as a donation to the needy and less privileged is commendable and acceptable, we think it depends on what is donated and the target user. Our donation is made to the government agency coordinating and controlling the fight against this virus because they are made up of medical and hygienic materials meant for use in the isolation centers and are not consumables. We considered that it will be meaningless to give these items to individuals.

“The items are worth over N2 million and the donation is in line with the objectives of the Association, which include: To be a network platform with opportunities for the education of members; To boost the image of our mother institution in Nigeria and render support to the institution; To support business ideas and social investments that we in no small measure, have contributed to national development.
