Rivers Varsity Donates Hand Sanitisers To Health Ministry
The Rivers State University, yesterday donated 120 cartons of hand sanitisers to the state Ministry of Health. The Vice Chancellor of the university, Prof. Nlerum Okogbule, accompanied by the former Acting Vice Chancellor, Prof. Opuenebo Owei, the Registrar, Dr Sydney Enyindah and other big wigs of the university handed over 120 cartons of hand sanitisers to the ministry at the State Secretariat Complex in Port Harcourt.
The vice chancellor stated that the hand sanitisers were produced by the Department of Chemistry in the Faculty of Science of the university, with the alcohol base of more than 70 percent.
Okogbule said that in line with the Coronavirus pandemic that has plagued the entire world, the university in its wisdom decided to produce these hand sanitisers in order to contain the dreaded virus in the state, and to assist the Governor, Chief Nyesom Wike in the fight against COVID -19.
Okogbule said that more hand sanitisers would be produced in due course.
The state Commissioner for Health, Prof. Princewill Chike in his response, thanked the management and staff of the university for the magnanimity.
He therefore, asked other corporate organisations and entrepreneurs in the state to toe similar line, noting that if institutions like the Rivers State University could come up with 120 cartons of hand sanitisers, other institutions could surpass that gesture.
The commissioner stated that if there are enough sanitisers in the state, local government areas and communities within us would be reached and the war against COVID-19 will be won.
He advised citizens in the state to maintain social distances, washing of hands with soap and sanitizer, as this would bring the dreaded disease to an end.
