This ThisDay and Arise Media Group in association with other partners have donated a treatment and isolation centre in Abuja as their contribution to the fight against the coronavirus in Nigeria.
The centre is located at the THISDAY Dome in the Central Business District, Abuja. It has a 360-bed capacity, which could be scaled up to 500 beds if the need arises. The partners in the project are the Sahara Foundation, the Corporate Coalition Against COVID-19 (CACOVID), African Finance Corporation (AFC) and the Chinese Civil Engineering and Construction Company (CCECC), which handled the internal partitioning among others.
Speaker, House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila and Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Godwin Emefiele, were among top officials who visited the centre ahead of its formal opening next week.
