COVID 19: JAMB  DONATES THREE VENTILATORS TO FG

The Joint Admission And Matriculation Board JAMB has donated three ventilators to the federal government in a bid to support government efforts at curbing the coronavirus pandemic in the country.

According to a press statement signed by the Head of Public Affaires  of JAMB Dr.  Fabian.

Benjamin The Board appreciates the support and donations from corporate bodies and individuals towards complementing government’s efforts aimed at containing the spread of the pandemic as well as treating those already infected with the virus.

In the Board’s own little way of ensuring that government strategies and preemptive measures yield fruitful dividends, the Board has donated two ventilators to the University of Abuja Teaching Hospital, Gwagwalada and one to the principal hospital in the Board’s host community, the Bwari General Hospital, in preparation for any eventuality. 

This he said  was borne out of the Board’s desire to plan in line with the Federal Government’s determination to ensure that no Nigerian succumbed to the virus. The donation of these ventilators which cost several millions is to strategically place these Hospitals in good stead to give necessary treatment to COVID-19 patients whether in Bwari or any other part of Abuja. However, this gesture was in addition to the several other interventions aimed at aiding the fight against the virus. 

He said the Board has promised to continue to support the fight against the pandemic within its limited means and by so doing, protect our teeming candidates who are the hope of tomorrow.

The  Board is therefore urging all prospective tertiary institutions intakes, students, parents and, indeed, the entire country to support the government by abiding by all instructions aimed at fighting the spread of the pandemic as these is really a difficult time for the nation and tasks all Nigerians to obey government directives  and stay safe to prevent escalation of the disease in the country.
