Buhari Hails Dangote' s 200M Donation To Fight Coronavirus

Nigeria’s President, Muhammadu Buhari has hailed Aliko Dangote for donating N200 million to fight the deadly Coronavirus disease in the country.

The president, a statement issued by his spokesman, Femi Adesina said the Aliko Dangote Foundation (ADF) donated the handsome sum of N200 million to assist in combating the influx of Covid-19 into the country.

According to President Buhari,“Hand in hand, standing shoulder to shoulder, we can confront our challenges as a country. This is a path for us all to follow as a people.”
