In line with the spirited efforts of the National Youth Service Corps in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic ravaging the entire world , a serving Corps Member in Ogun State, Miss Moyosoluwa Kolawole has joined her other colleagues to make her own little contribution towards the fight against the dreaded disease by producing and donating 200 high quality face masks to Ogun State Government .

While receiving the donation at her office in Abeokuta , the Deputy Governor, Engr Noimot Salako in company of the SSG , Mr Tokunbo Talabi and the Chief of Staff to the Governor, Alhaji Salisu Shuaib appreciated the Corps Member for her kind gesture, and after observing the high quality of the product, the Corps Member was contracted to produce an initial 2000 pieces for N300,000 at a stipulated time, adding that if she meets up with the deadline , she will be contracted to produce another 5000 pieces .

The State Coordinator, Dr (Mrs) Belinda Ameze Faniyi who led the Corps Member to the office of the Deputy Governor, noted that the Corps Member’s donation is just one among the several contributions by Corps Members in the fight against the Corona Virus pandemic.
“You will recall that our Corps Medical Personnel are all on ground in the State, working with their senior colleagues, while others have produced and donated liquid soaps for hand washing and sanitizers” she said.

The donor on her part said she was motivated by the charge of the NYSC Director General , Brig-Gen Shuaibu Ibrahim to put the skills acquired from the NYSC Skills Acquisition and Entrepreneurship Development (SAED) Programme into use for the benefit of humanity in this trying period.
