A statement by Willie Bassey, Director (Information), Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, quoted the SGF as thanking the Conference for the donation, describing the gesture as not only timely, but necessary as it would assist medical practitioners in their efforts to bring the pandemic to a standstill in the country.

The SGF particularly commended the Conference for the donation in view of the spread of the health facilities which are found in several locations across the country and would provide the required assistance to various state governments to leverage on.

In his words: “We will continue to work with all faith-based organisations, civil society groups and all men of goodwill interested in helping out at this time of need.”

The SGF commended the Bishops’ Conference of Nigeria and called on other faith-based groups to speak up and lend a strong voice to the decisions of government particularly, on restriction of movement so as to halt the spread of the pandemic.
