Speaking at the presentation, Madam Rosaline Ahene, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of “My Dream Modern Plus” explained that the donation forms part of measures to ensure the successful fight against the COVID-19 pandemic in the Sekondi-Takoradi Metropolis.
She added that the donation was also to encourage drivers, passengers as well as the general public to adhere to good personal hygiene principles, especially in public places as instructed by President Nana Akufo-Addo and the Ghana Health Service (GHS).
According to Madam Ahene, the advice by the health experts on handwashing under running water and sanitizing though may seem insignificant, it was the surest way to stop the spread of the COVID-19, hence the need to support it to encourage regular adherence.
Mr. Richard Amonoo, a driver at the Takoradi-Sekondi Trotro station who received the items on behalf of the drivers indicated that they had quite a number of the Veronica buckets at vantage points for passengers to wash their hands but soaps, tissues, and nose masks were needed the more.
He commended the Management and staff of “My Dream Modern Plus” for their support and promised to make judicious use of the items to help stop the spread of the disease in the Metropolis.
