Enugu State: Minister Donates Medical Equipment And Food Items To Citizens

Foreign Affairs Minister, Geoffrey Onyeama has provided medical equipment to the Enugu State Government to assist the state in fighting the coronavirus pandemic.
Onyeama who presented the medical equipment to the state government at the Opkara Square in Enugu, under the aegis of Kwusike Foundation, also donated some food items to ease the tension of less privileged in the state from the lockdown.
The Minister said he had decided to share the food items from the home to home as the medical facilities are meant for those that are infected with the virus or those that are liable to contract the virus not to die of the disease while the food items are to make the less privileged look healthy and be hopeful.
