Among the schools that benefited from the donations, were Junior Secondary School Karu, Community Secondary School Asokoro, FCT Mass Education Karu, Federal Government Boys College Gudu and many other schools within the precinct of Abuja.
Kasumu said: “Just recently, the Presidential Taskforce on COVID-19 warned that the nation was at a very dangerous stage of community transmission, even as it expressed the concern that the pandemic could spread to all the 774 local government areas of the Federation.
“Until a vaccine becomes available, the only option to protect ourselves is still the non-pharmaceutical measures which have proven to be cheap and effective, such as the appropriate use of face masks.
