Looking back at those days, basic healthcare was even a shadow of what it is today but Its better than what it used to be. We have been called to be salt and light to the earth and the first place that should benefit from the sweetness and illumination is home, this is why I’m supporting the @osunstategovt in the fight against COVID-19 with the sum of 20 Million Naira. I know this might not fully cater for all areas but this is my token. We will continue to support as many people as we can this period with foodstuff, safety gears, sanitizers and whatever is essential through our CSR arm”
