Osagie Ehanire, minister
of health, on Tuesday, inspected the THISDAY Dome donated as a 320-bed isolation
centre in Abuja.
The facility, which the
federal government said is 98% ready, was donated by Nduka Obaigbena, publisher
of THISDAY newspaper, to support the fight against COVID-19 in Abuja.
The project is being
handled in collaboration with Sahara Foundation, an arm of Sahara Group.
Ehanire expressed
satisfaction with the level of work at the dome which the government has fitted
with utilities and other necessities for management of COVID-19 patients.
He was accompanied on the
visit by top management officials of the ministry of health.
The ministry tweeted that
it is “extremely grateful” to Obaigbena for the “generous” donation.
Abuja has 307 of the
2,950 COVID-19 cases so far recorded in Nigeria, making it the third most
affected state.
We are extremely grateful to Chief Nduka Obaigbena who generously donated the #ThisDayDome to be converted to a 320 bed isolation center.— Federal Ministry of Health, NIGERIA (@Fmohnigeria) May 6, 2020
