Hodo Bassey, a corps member serving in Cross River state,
has reportedly donated his N33,000 one-month allowance to support the fight
against the COVID-19 outbreak.
Philip Obin, technical assistant on new media to
Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo media, took to his verified Twitter page on
Wednesday to announce the feat.
Obin said Bassey handed out his allowance to the state government
through Betta Edu, the commissioner for health, in what he described as a
“commendable” gesture.
“Hodo Bassey has donated his one month Allawi of N33,000 to the Cross River state government through the Commissioner for Health, Dr. Betta Edu in the fight against the pandemic,” he wrote.
“This is commendable, a worthy sacrifice indeed. Anyone who
has the contact of this corps member should please forward it to me.
“He deserves a space in a national daily, just like others
who have also donated billions. A donation is a donation, no matter the
amount.
The tweet was accompanied with pictures that showed Bassey handing out a white envelope to the health commissioner while maintaining social distance as a precaution against COVID-19.#COVIDー19: A corps member, Mr Hodo Bassey, has donated his one month Allawi of N33,000 to the Cross River State government through the Commissioner for Health, Dr Betta Edu in the fight against the pandemic.— Philip Obin (@PhilipObin) April 1, 2020

Bassey’s gesture comes at about the same time when the
number of COVID-19 cases in Nigeria reached 210 as many states across the
country have remained under a compulsory lockdown.
