The Lagos Lawn Tennis Club, Onikan, has donated N5 million to the state government as its contribution to efforts to cushion the effects of the COVID-19-induced lock down on vulnerable citizens of the state.
Speaking at the presentation of the cheque at Government House, Ikeja yesterday, president of Lagos Lawn Tennis Club, Ademola Akin-Taylor said the club decided to help the state government’s efforts to ensure the poor and vulnerable people were able to feed while staying at home.
Taylor, who commended Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu for his effort in containing the spread of COVID-19, noted that it became necessary for the club to support the state government because of the growing demand for palliatives in the state.
Receiving the cheque from the members of the club, General Manager, Lagos State Printing Corporation, Kola Peregrino, praised their gesture for supporting government, saying that the donation would be utilized well to meet the demands of Lagos residents
