President Muhammadu Buhari has applauded some of Nigerians heavyweights for standing up in the battle against the Covid-19 pandemic.
The President, in a statement by his spokesman, Mr Femi Adesina, in Abuja on Friday, commended members of the Nigerian Private Sector Coalition Against Covid-19.
He lauded the likes of Aliko Dangote, Abdulsamad Rabiu of BUA Group, Femi Otedola, Tony Elumelu, Herbert Wigwe, Segun Agbaje and Jim Ovia of UBA, Access, GTB, and Zenith Banks, respectively, for contributing N1 billion each.
President Buhari noted with delight that UBA had equally donated the sum of N5 billion to Nigeria and Africa, while the former Vice President Atiku Abubakar had pledged N50 million.
The President saluted every other helping hand that had been lent by individuals, groups and organizations, which may not necessarily be in the public domain, noting that "God who sees all things will abundantly recompense'.
