COVID-19: Private guards donate to FCT residents

The Association of Private Security Practitioners of Nigeria (ALPSPN), FCT chapter, has donated food items and condiments worth several millions of naira to residents in Garki and other parts of the territory.

The ALPSPN FCT chapter chairman, Mr. Lawrence Alobi, who is a former FCT Commissioner of Police, said the distribution of the palliatives was part of the organisation’s contributions to cushion the COVID-19 lockdown effect on residents in the FCT.

According to him, there is no gainsaying that Nigerians needed to be specially catered for at this time thus individuals and organisations must continue to support government’s efforts at giving succour to the vulnerable in the society.

“We all know that a hungry man is already challenged and the vulnerable Nigerians must be provided for, to at least, be saved from hunger,” Alobi said.

The Chief of Garki (Sa’Peyi of Garki), Alhaji Usman Nga-Kupi, commended the ALPSPN, FCT Chapter, for the gesture.

He said the distribution of the palliatives including rice, beans and other food items would go a long way to alleviate the hardship of the people who are affected by the COVID-19 restrictions, especially those who are daily income earners.

Also, the FCT Commandant of the NSCDC, Mr. Patrick Ukpen, urged wealthy individuals and organisations to complement government efforts on welfare and security of the citizens and the society.
