He noted the media houses and the security agencies play a key role in the fight against the deadly diseases in the region.
Therefore he said it is important to equipped these institutions with these protective items to enhance their safety to enable them continue discharging their duties in the fight against the deadly COVID – 19 in the region.
“Chairman observing the donation so far, the media houses have been left out in the distribution of protective equipment and he felt that this is not the best.

Most of the managers at the various radio and TV stations who received the items on behalf of their staff expressed their happiness and thank the NPP Northern Regional chairman for the kind gesture.
