The Acting Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer, Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), Mrs. Ibim Semenitari, has donated personal protective kits and other accessories to states in the Niger Delta.
The donation, Semenitari stressed, was part of the Commission’s collaborative action with the nine focal states’ governments to kick-out Lassa fever in the region.
Recalling similar efforts by NDDC during the outbreak of Ebola in Nigeria in 2014, Semenitari who flagged-off the exercise in Benin City, Edo State capital, disclosed that Edo, Ondo and Rivers States were chosen being the worst hit among the other states.
Speaking during a courtesy call on the Edo State Governor, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, at the Government House, Benin City, Semenitari said that apart from the donations performed simultaneously across the three beneficiary states, NDDC had been involved in massive public education.
