Other items that were donated include 120 packets of facemasks, 70 pieces of Medical Gowns, 30 litres of hand sanitizers and 50 cartons of non-alcoholic products.
Speaking at a recent event, where the company made similar donations to the Brewery Manager, (Ibadan & Ijebu-Ode), Mr. Tayo Ogundana, stated that the gesture is in line with the commitment of the company to motivate the frontline health care workers and equip them to handle infected patients for quick recovery while also halting the spread in Oyo State.

In his remarks shortly after receiving the items, the Chief Medical Director, University College Hospital(UCH), Professor Jesse Otegbayo, described Nigerian Breweries Plc as a kind-hearted organisation that has continually demonstrated immense love and concern for the institution through the numerous support it currently enjoys.
He expressed profound gratitude to Nigerian Breweries Plc for its continual support in making available a conducive environment to provide health care services to the people.
