Edo Government on Friday in Benin inaugurated a 30-bed facility built by a private company, Peculiar Ultimate Concerns Ltd, to support the state government to curtail the spread of Covid-19 Pandemic.
Gov. Godwin Obaseki of Edo, who inaugurated the facility, thanked the donor company for completing the project in record time of 12 days.
According to Obaseki, represented by his Deputy, Mr Philip Shaibu, this facility is executed as part of the company’s Corporate Social Responsibility and completed in 12 days.
“It was built for free while the Edo government furnished the facility with world class medical equipment and well trained health workers to manage the patients that will be brought to the centre.
“I want to assure Edo people that we are on top of the situation and have prepared for the worse but pray that the worst will not come.
“We want to salute our healthcare workers, who are the true heroes, leaving their families to work in the frontline and ensuring those affected by the disease get well,” he said.
The Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Peculiar Ultimate Concerns Ltd. Mr. Adeleke Olanrewaju, said they were handing over the structure as their Coporate Social Responsibility to Edo government.
“This structure was built in record time of 12 days and handed over to Edo State Government to support and strengthen its fight against Covid-19 Pandemic in the State.
“Government can’t fight this scourge alone but needs every support to win the war.
“We offer our support to strengthen Edo government that has done so much in the fight to curtail the spread of Covid-19 Pandemic,” he said.
