He explained that the product would be distributed to Ekiti residents free, describing it as the union’s contribution towards fighting the scourge.

According to him, the product was expected to reach about 5,000 people in Ekiti State.

Professor Olufayo said the zone had mandated all the five public universities under it to produce World Health Organisation- compliant sanitisers that could curtail the spread of the virus.

Olufayo said his colleagues across Nigeria had been in the laboratories conducting various researches into how to find antidote to the ravaging COVID-19, saying the results would be out soon.

“Since this pandemic broke out in Nigeria, ASUU has been supporting the government physically and financially through provisions of quality sanitisers and running of jingles on radio and television and distribution of handbills to educate our people about Coronavirus.

“Again, our members all over Nigeria are carrying out research upon research to find antidote to this killer virus and the results will be made public very soon.

“ASUU is concerned about the welfare of the populace and we have to support the government despite our unresolved crisis over payroll with the Federal government.

“What we are donating today is in compliance with the directive of ASUU National President, Prof. Biodun Ogunyemi, that every zone must help the government in whatever form to fight Coronavirus.

“We have donated some packs to the Ekiti State Government and over 4,000 will be distributed free at markets, banks, motor parks, rural communities by members, just to ensure that the scourge doesn’t fester among our people.”

The ASUU Chairman, Ekiti State University chapter, Dr. Kayode Arogundade, appealed to Ekiti residents to adhere to the stay-at-home directive declared by governments and maintain safety wherever they go.

“ASUU is an assembly of eggheads. We are in the laboratories working hard to help our people, because we exist for the generality of Nigerians.”
