Globacom Chairman, Dr Mike Adenuga Jnr, has joined the growing list of billionaires raising hopes in the fight against the novel Covid-19 as he donated an initial sum of N1 billion to the Federal Government and N500 million to the Lagos State government.
The businessman made the donation on Monday, through his foundation, The Mike Adenuga Foundation.
In a letter to Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, and delivered by his daughter, Mrs Bella Disu, Adenuga stated that “the various timely, broad and focused measures being put in place are highly commendable and worthy of support as they shall in due course end the insidious propagation of the dreaded virus.
“We wish, Sir, to affirm our unequivocal readiness to work with the Lagos State government in ensuring a smooth and expeditious achievement of Your Excellency’s noble objectives.
“We are to this end attaching herewith our bank cheque in the sum of Five Hundred Million Naira (N500,000,000) as our modest initial contribution to the success of the laudable efforts being vigorously pursued under Your Excellency’s proactive and brilliant leadership.”
Adenuga added, “We shall in addition to this contribution actively continue our ongoing efforts to assist various bodies and institutions in the country with the supply of such essential items as Sanitizers, Masks, Test kits, Ventillators, PPEs and other necessary requirements.”
