African Industrialists Need To Start Producing Masks, Sanitizers, Ventilators

Reno Omokri, former aide to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, has called on reputable Nigerian business moguls to come to the aid of Nigeria amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Presently, Nigeria has recorded 41 cases of the virus and it’s expected that the virus will continue to spread until drastic measures are taken to mitigate the virus.

According to Omokri, it has become imperative for the likes of Dangote Group, Innoson Motors and other African industrialists to start producing materials that will help prevent the virus.

“I urgently call on Aliko Dangote, Innoson Vehicles, and other African industrialists, to temporarily convert their manufacturing process for the production of face masks, hand sanitisers, and ventilators to protect Africans from the #CoronaVirus.,” he said.

He said Europeans, Americans, and others who usually give medical and financial aid to Africans are themselves overwhelmed by this pandemic.

“It is time for Africans to help ourselves. I also call on African celebrities to resist the urge to flaunt their affluence on social media. If you have too much money, don’t flaunt. Silently donate to stop #COVID19.”
