Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported about another Nigerian who is working hard to combat the shortage of facemasks. She is an Aba tailor identified as Jacinthia Kakaide.
The noble thing about her effort is that she is producing and giving face masks out for free so that the people of Umuatako Community in Aba can protect themselves against coronavirus.
In speaking with a Daily Trust reporter, Kakaide said she started the production when she realised that not many in her community are buoyant enough to buy a face mask.

She added that since the outbreak of the virus in the country, the price of the material shot up to N600 per one in Aba, something many could not buy due to their weak financial capacity.
The good Samaritan has since made over 300 masks and given to many young people on the streets. She said she only wants to help because it is not safe to walk around without the facemasks.
