Fagboyo said the meeting was convened for members to discuss mobilisation of resources, direct funding campaign for COVID-19 response, identifying and soliciting effective funding channels/sources.

“The committee chairman, patrons and other members applauded Gov. Kayode Fayemi for the initiative and for putting politics aside and bringing Ekiti sons and daughters in diverse groups to serve in fighting against the COVID-19 Pandemic,” she said.

She also said that five sub-committees were established to work on different areas of the committee’s activities.

She said it was also agreed that the Central Working Committee would receive periodic reports from the sub-committees and coordinate the overall activities of the Committee.

According to her, the sub-committees are: the Central Working Committee with Prince Julius Adelusi-Adeluyi as Chairman; Medical Logistics and Project Nomination Committee with Dr. Tunji Olowolafe as Chairman and Dr. Adedamola Dada as Co-Chairman among others.

The News Agency of Nigeria quoted Fagboyo as saying the meeting also agreed that the tenure and role of the Committee would be extended beyond COVID-19 to address other critical issues now and in the future.
