<p>Some of the messages read:
“No capes, just heroes. To all the health professionals at the frontline of
efforts to tackle COVID-19, we say thank you. Your timeless efforts are much
appreciated. The world called and they responded.”</p>



<p>“No cape, just lab-coats.
No superhuman capability, just dedication, strength, and compassion. As we play
our parts of staying at home, we thank our medical professionals for being our
‘Avengers’.”</p>



<p>“The world called and they
responded. We salute our frontline warriors.”</p>

<p><a href="https://www.witnessngr.com/76727-2/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">FirstBank has been
in the forefront ;</a>of supporting the drive to flatten the curve with
promoting public enlightenment being among its many measures to check the
rising spread of Coronavirus since the outbreak of the disease in Nigeria.</p>



<p>Recall, the lender, as
part of a robust effort to combat the deadly virus, recently announced a
donation of N1 billion to the federal government of Nigeria for the expansion
of health facilities, purchase of relief materials, critical care facilities,
protective gears to contain the spread of the virus and treating individuals
diagnosed with the disease.</p>



<p>The donation is in
addition to the Bank’s drive to move ;<a href="https://www.witnessngr.com/76727-2/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">one million children
to e-learning,</a> ;together with an early partner – Roducate – as
recommended by the Lagos State Ministry of Education.</p>

<p>According to the Chief
Executive Officer of FirstBank, Dr. Adesola Adeduntan, the e-learning
initiative is a complementary effort in education to support students and
minimise the disruption to their education resulting from closure of schools.</p>



<p>The Nigeria Centre for
Disease Control (NCDC) on Friday night confirmed 20 new cases of Coronavirus
(COVID-19) in the country.</p>



<p>Eleven cases were
confirmed in Lagos, three cases confirmed in the FCT, 3 in Edo, two in Osun and
