The Yoruba Council of Chiefs in Ghana led by Kabiyesi Alhaji Hamza Peregrino Brimah VIII, head of the Yoruba Community, last week made a donation of GH¢20,000 and 500 pieces of 5kg of rice to the National Covid-19 Fund at the Jubilee House.
Chief Hamza Peregrino-Brimah was accompanied by Oba (Alh) Abdul Raman Babatunde Ajai, Oba (Alh) Mohammed Boye Bussari, Oba (Alh) Abdul Salami Saka, Oloye (Asiwaju) Alh Musa Baba, Princess Hajia Moradehun Peregrino Brimah (ERELU) and Oloyes.
Chief Hamza Peregrino Brimah said after the donation that “we deemed it necessary as citizens of this country to also join the long line of donors for this noble cause. We have followed the efforts of government in containing the pandemic. Happily the results have been astounding as evidenced from the praises government has received from the World Health Organisation (WHO).”
He thanked the fund’s officials for the warm reception accorded the delegation even as social distancing was being observed.
