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 class="wp-block-paragraph">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 class="wp-block-paragraph">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
