COVID-19: A Message From Our MD/CEO

Posted on: 21st Mar 2020

COVID-19 (Coronavirus) has changed the way we do business.

As a socially conscious organization with your best interests at heart, we have joined the rest of the world in taking proactive steps towards halting the spread of the virus in order to maintain your safety as well as that of our employees.

First, we have activated our Business Continuity Plan to ensure minimal disruption to our business in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. Specifically: Our business premises nationwide have upgraded to health and safety best practices to limit the transmission of this virus. This includes regular updates to staff and indeed customers on how to stay safe during these times and the steps to take in case of any emergency. We have provided hand sanitizers at all entry and exit points as well as all the floors and offices within our premises. We also encourage regular handwashing at intervals.

We have already concluded the necessary steps to ensure we can work seamlessly remotely should there be an undoubted need to. This is in line with best practices and we are committed to seeing this through as necessary.

However, while we advise social distancing, do not forget the basic tips to staying safe in these times:

1. Wash your hands frequently with soap and water.

2. If in public gatherings or transport systems, wear masks, such as an n95 mask.

3. It is advised to avoid all forms of public gatherings at this point.

4. Avoid touching your face and seek early medical care if you have a fever, cough and difficulty breathing,

Do stay on top of the situation by regularly updating yourself with information from trusted sources like the World Health Organisation and the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control as well as the Federal Ministry of Health.

COVID-19 is real. Stay safe, stay alive. In all of these, be sure of one thing: We are with YOU for life.
