AYM Shafa Limited, one of the leading players in the Nigerian oil and gas industry, has announced that it is providing funds to support the government of Nigeria in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic and its attendant impact on the country’s population and economy.

The funding, it said in a statement, was in collaborat­ion with the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporatio­n (NNPC) alongside other players in the oil and gas industry.

“The joint interventi­on initiative will assist the government in equipping isolation centers across the country and providing ventilator­s, test kits, coveralls, medicines, ambulances and other essential medical supplies.

“It will also significan­tly enable the government to give the much-needed support to the poor and vulnerable in these difficult times.

“Over 100 confirmed cases have been reported across the country, with most cases in the commercial city of Lagos and the country’s capital city, Abuja.

“Despite the rate of its spread, we can overcome this pandemic if we work together and support each other. We commend the work of the government in battling the pandemic’ said Chairman/CEO of the company Yakubu Maishanu.

AYM Shafa, he added, would continue to key-in into the collaborat­ive initiative of the Nigerian oil and gas industry and the NNPC to support the government’s efforts to combat the COVID-19 pandemic.

Maishanu, further advised Nigerians to strictly adhere to precaution­ary and preventive guidelines - stay at home, social distancing, hand washing, and good hygiene- given by the government and medical experts.
