In a bid to support the Nigerian government in the fight against coronavirus, the University of Lagos has manufactured hand sanitisers and donated to the Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH).
According to a statement from the institution, the Vice Chancellor of the University, Professor Oluwatoyin Ogundipe, stated that the sanitisers were produced by the institution’s Department of Pharmaceutics and Pharmaceutical Technology in the Faculty of Pharmacy.
Stating that the manufacturing of sanitisers and its donation to LUTH was to demonstrate that the institution identify with both the government of Lagos State and the Federal Government in wagging war against Covid-19, the Vice Chancellor was optimistic that the deadly virus would soon be defeated and become a thing of the past.
“It is also for use by the frontline ‘warriors’ in the hospital healthcare team and other staff members caring for COVID-19 patients. This is a sacrifice that the university believes will be useful at this trying time. We pray that God will terminate both the spread of this virus and the infections in human lives”, he stated.
