COVID-19: Benue government begins distribution of sanitizers across LGAs
The Benue State Action Committee on Coronavirus Saturday commenced distribution of hand sanitizers to the 23 local government areas of the state.
The distribution team for Zone A part of the state was led by Commissioner for Water Resources and Environment, Engineer Dondo Ahire; that for Zone B was headed by Commissioner for Information, Culture and Tourism, Hon Ngunan Addingi, while the team for Zone C was led by Commissioner for Health and Human Services, Dr Sunday Ongbabo.
The three teams presented thousands of cartons of hand sanitizers to the 23 Council Chairmen in the three senatorial zonal centres of Katsina-Ala, Gboko and Otukpo, for onward distribution to the people of the state.
Governor Samuel Ortom, while interacting with the State Action Committee on COVID-19 a few days ago, commended the team for the job so far done in preventing the spread of the pandemic and urged them to keenly supervise the distribution to ensure that the hand sanitizers get to all parts of the state.
