The medical supplies donated to Nigeria by China’s richest man, Jack Ma, to assist in the fight against the coronavirus have arrived Abuja.
Presidential aide, Bashir Ahmad, tweeted this on Wednesday.
He wrote: “Medical materials donated by @JackMa to fight #coronavirus in Africa have arrived Abuja, airlifted from Murtala Mohammed Airport, Lagos to Nnamdi Azikiwe Airport, Abuja by the Nigerian Air Force.”
The supplies had first arrived at the Murtala Mohammed International Airport (MMIA), Lagos on Tuesday through an aircraft operated by Ethiopian Airlines.
The flight left Guangzhou, China on March 22, and stopped over at Addis Ababa in Ethiopia before proceeding to Lagos.
The supplies from Jack Ma and Alibaba Foundations contain 5.4 million face masks, about 1 million test kits, 40,000 sets of protective gears and 60,000 face shields.
