In addition, Akinseloyin commended the proactive measures implemented by FAAN’s management and officials. He expressed the need for collective support to prevent an outbreak in the country. Meanwhile, Julian Idiaghe, FAAN’s Head of Corporate Affairs, lauded the gesture from Hypo Hygiene Products Limited. She mentioned that the donation would further enhance hygiene standards within their facilities and strengthen other preventive measures. “The health and safety of passengers is of utmost importance, and maintaining good hygiene reinforces our other preventive measures. Following an outbreak of the transmittable Coronavirus (COVID-19) in China, it has become a global health risk.”
“The first case was reported in Lagos, Nigeria on Feb. 27, 2020, involving an Italian traveler from Milan to Lagos. Since then, the Federal Government has been encouraging Nigerians to adopt preventive measures by maintaining excellent hygiene to contain the virus’s spread,” Idiaghe stated. She also highlighted the establishment of screening procedures and the dissemination of public health announcements regarding the importance of practicing good hygiene.
