concerned about the spread of coronavirus in Nigeria.
She begged Nigerians to take social distancing more
seriously as cases have now passed the 1,000 mark.

Assistant on Media, Aliyu Abdullahi.
It noted that Aisha has swung into action by activating her
‘Get Involved Initiative’ to support the fight.
The president’s wife has sent items to Bauchi, Gombe States
and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
“She expressed appreciation to those who donated, saying the
nation will benefit from their donations.
“Mrs. Buhari called on Nigerians to stay safe and practice
social distancing in order to defeat the Covid-19 Pandemic. She called on the
benefitting states to put the items to good use,” the statement disclosed.
Aisha was represented by her Senior Special Assistant on
Administration and Women Affairs, Dr Hajo Sani, during the distribution
ceremony in Abuja.
The items distributed include cartons of assorted hand
sanitisers, pharmaceutical drugs, personal protection equipment including
disposable gowns and overalls.
Others were disposable and N95 surgical masks, gloves,
