Handwashing

By Fatima Mohammed-Lawal
Ilorin, April 2, 2020 (NAN) The Federation of Muslim Women Association of Nigeria (FOMWAN), Kwara Chapter has advised the State government to provide hand washing points and sanitizers at strategic places across the state.

Hajia Bilqees Oladimeji, FOMWAN spokesperson, made the call on Thursday in Ilorin, in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria, (NAN).

She observed that some states, such as Ogun and Niger had already designated some points for hand washing in their respective states.

According to her, this will go a long way to help in curbing the spread of the coronavirus and assist people in adopting hygienic practices.

Oladimeji also encouraged people to pray and engage children on positive things, such as learning, advising against sedentary living during the partial lockdown in the state.

She urged people to engage in physical exercise regularly in order to keep fit and maintain good health. (NAN)
