Saturday’s exercise, part of LCB Worldwide Ghana Limited’s contribution towards fighting the COVID-19 pandemic, was a continuation of what the company started last weekend during which several Ministries, including the Ministry of Transport, Roads and Highways, Gender, Children and Social Protection, Energy, Environment, Science and Technology as well as the Accra Metropolitan Assembly were disinfected.
Chief Executive Officer of LCB Worldwide Ghana Limited, Mr. Kareem Abu reiterated the commitment of the company to aid government in any way possible to contain the COVID-19 pandemic.
He said the company as part of its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), has undertaken to disinfect the various MDAs to create a fear-free atmosphere for public sector workers to go about their duties without let or hindrance.
“We have a plan to expand this initiative and that is to move to some of the regions outside the capital to disinfect government Departments and Agencies out there. Even before the outbreak of the pandemic, we had embarked on some CSR activities in the Eastern and Greater Accra Regions during which we disinfected selected Senior High Schools and Market centers. We’re with the Ghanaian people each step of the way and we believe this is the time they need us most. We will not let them down”, Mr. Abu said during an interaction with the media.
The Director of Public Health at the Ghana Health Service, Dr. Badu Sarkodie who joined the disinfection team during the exercise, lauded LCB Worldwide Ghana Limited for offering to disinfect the MDAs free of charge in this crucial time.
He entreated all well-meaning individuals and organizations to put their shoulders to the wheel to ensure the fight against Covid-19 is won, explaining that it was for some reasons such as the outbreak of the COVID-19 virus that LCB Worldwide Ghana Limited was contracted by government to disinfect all imports and exports at the country’s ports to ensure the prevention of infectious diseases.
Dr. Badu Sarkodie who described LCB Worldwide Ghana Limited as "good partners and neighbours" for responding positively to the national call at short notice, said the company is also responsible for disinfecting hotels where all travellers being monitored for Covid-19 are being housed.
He admonished all Ghanaians to adhere to the precautionary measures as outlined by President Akufo-Addo and government and endeavor to stay safe by staying at home.
