The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), Sunday, disclosed that the oil and gas industry coalition against the novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, that it is spearheading, has donated medical consumables, equipment and an ambulance to the Kano State Government, to support the state’s fight against the pandemic.

In a statement in Abuja, the NNPC also stated that despite the supply chain constraints involved in simultaneous nationwide delivery and distribution of medical items at this period, the coalition was determined to extend the industry intervention to all states of the federation, with Abuja, Rivers and states in the South West having benefitted from the initiative.

It listed the items donated to the state to include a Toyota ambulance, two full kits ventilators, one smith RescuePac ventilator for emergency and transport, ten pulse oximeters, 10,000 nose masks and 5,000 Nitrile examination gloves.

Others, the NNPC said are 250 face masks, surgical splash/fluid resistance face shield, 250 N95 respiratory valve, 100 PPE overall full kits, 100 PPE shoe covers, 2,000 PPE disposable caps and 500 Medimec surgical face masks.

Speaking during the presentation, Sylva stated that the items were part of the $58 million (N21 billion) intervention initiative by the oil and gas industry, while he expressed optimism that they would go a long way to stemming the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic in the state.
