KEDCO distributes 10,000 mosquito nets in Kano

The Kano Electricity Distribution Company (KEDCO) has distributed 10, 000 treated mosquito nets to its customers in Jakara quarters in Kano metropolis.
Speaking shortly after distributing the items, the company’s Public Relations Offi cer, Mr Mohamed Kandi, said the gesture was part of the corporate social responsibility of the company and that the 10,000 mosquito nets were meant to fight the malaria scourge. He said the decision to distribute the nets was also part of the company’s resolve to complement government’s effort toward the fight against malaria in the country.
“The decision to distribute the treated mosquito nets is borne out of the company’s commitment to support the government in its renewed effort to ensure total eradication of malaria.
“KEDCO is not here to collect revenue from its customers but it is here to distribute the nets in commemoration of the World Malaria Day,” he said. He advised the people in the area to always clean their environment and clear blocked drainages to prevent mosquito breeding in their respective places of abode.
A health expert who accompanied the team to the area, Malam Umar Mohammed, advised the residents of the area to make the best use of the nets to check the spread of malaria.
