TOYOTA (Nigeria) Limited (TNL), the sole distributor of Toyota Motor Corporation in Nigeria and its foremost dealer Elizade Nigeria Limited (ENL), have donated three units of ambulances to the Lagos State government.
The gesture, according to the duo, was to support the government in its fight to eradicate the COVID-19 pandemic in the state.
In a statement, Chairman TNL and Founder ENL, Chief Michael Ade Ojo said: “Covid-19 is a vicious virus that is presently ravaging people all over the world. Everything humanly possible must be done to quickly contain the pandemic.
The government needs the support of all well-meaning Nigerians and corporate organisations to fight the evil scourge and all hands must be on deck”.
TNL and ENL, Chief Ade Ojo said, will continue to support the government in any endeavour that will positively impact humanity.
TNL Managing Director Mr. Kunle Ade-Ojo said the gesture was in recognition and commendation of the continuous effort of the Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu and his team to contain the spread of the virus. Ade-Ojo urged Nigerians to abide by the guidelines provided by the World Health Organisation (WHO) and the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) on how to avoid contracting the virus and shun information from unauthorised sources. He advised them to obey government’s directive to stay home and keep safe.
While receiving the three ambulances from the Public Relations Team Lead of Toyota (Nigeria) Limited, Mrs. Bukki Ogunnusi, wife of the state governor, Dr Ibijoke Sanwo-Olu, Chief of Staff of the governor, Mr. Tayo Ayinde and other senior officials of the state, expressed appreciation for the timely gesture.
Dr Sanwo-Olu enjoined other corporate organisations to emulate the TNL and ENL’s gesture.
She said such support will make significant impact in helping to stop the pandemic from spreading further.
She promised that the ambulances will be put to good use for the purpose they were donated and for the benefit of all Lagosians
