The selfless people working in the frontline have risked their lives to ensure that aid reaches where its required the most. 77 State hospitals in Nigeria are already registered as a part of this programme.

The group apart from pledging free rice and fish for three months to all COVID – 19 Hospitals, has deployed  staff buses to ferry health care workers to hospitals dedicated to COVID – 19 treatment in Lagos. Frontline health workers will have a dedicated pick up and drop services during the FG’s directives on enhanced community quarantine. The buses will be attached to the COVID-19 dedicated hospitals for the next 3 months to ensure safer and comfortable transportation of the healthcare providers who are in the frontline in this fight against the virus. The free  staff bus service along with a dedicated driver and fuelling is implemented in cooperation and close coordination with the Lagos  State Government.
