Sequel to its announcement of a donation of a whooping N130million to support the fight against Coronavirus pandemic in Nigeria, SIFAX Group has presented a number of protective equipment to the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) to curtail spread of the virus.

The equipment includes; 100 cartons of hand sanitizers, 200 boxes of hand gloves, 20 packs of special nose masks and 100 boxes of nose masks.

The donations were made through the Nigerian Ports Authority Liaison office at Tin Can Island port.

At a short presentation ceremony, Capt. Ibraheem Olugbade, Executive Director, SIFAX Off Dock, explained that “As an organization committed to flattening the curve and curbing the spread of COVID-19, SIFAX Group is donating 100 cartons of hand sanitizers, 200 boxes of hand gloves, 20 packs of special nose masks and 100 boxes of nose masks to the Nigerian Ports Authority”

In his response, Alhaji Abubakar Umar Ali, NPA Port Manager, Tin Can Island, thanked SIFAX Group for the kind gesture and noted that the equipment will be adequately reported to the NPA headquarters and put to use.
