As part of his assiduous effort on fighting the Covid-19 pandemic, the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, today donated two motorized modular fumigators to Ondo State Government to further intensify efforts against the spread of the virus.
The monarch also engaged the service of a drone sprinkler–fumigator for the state government for a particular period of time.
The State Governor, Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Akeredolu,SAN, who received the donation, thanked the monarch for the gesture.
Governor Akeredolu said the state will make efforts to procure more of the motorized fumigator for the use of the state, adding that the motorized fumigator will serve more effective purposes.
Speaking earlier, Oba Adeyeye said the reality of the covid-19 has neccesitated the need to look inward for home made solutions, as the country must not rest on its oars.
He said: ”A lot of people will be wondering why I leave my palace to go around with this. Truth be told, why are you a king if you can’t cater for your people?
“In the olden days, the Kings are always at the forefront and give courage to their people. I’m leading by example for every other person to know that Covid-19 is real
“We are presenting two modular fumigator to the Ondo State government free of charge. The drone will work in term of rendering service for a particular time free of charge.”
The monarch commended the governor for the steps taken so far in the battle against the deadly virus, saying it is very heartwarming.
The donation is in continuation of steps taken by His Imperial Majesty to support south west governors to defeat the coronavirus pandemic.
