International promoter of GAC Motors, GREE and Lontor brands in Nigeria, Chief Diana Chen, has donated an ambulance, 50,000 face masks and N20 million to combat COVID-19 in Lagos State and across Nigeria.

Chen assured solidarity with the Nigerian people in the fight against COVID-19.

She said, “Now more than ever we all need to show serious concern and commitment to eliminating the threat of this virus so that we can return to our daily lives before the outbreak.”

She also emphasised that defeating the virus cannot be achieved by the government alone, but by private organisations and individuals playing a part in helping the government achieve its goal.

“Her voice has been crucial in rallying the Chinese business community in the country to also support the government’s efforts in this pandemic.

These efforts in helping the government fight the damaging pandemic has not only shown her deep community interest in Lagos state, but it also goes a long way to impact ordinary Nigerians for whom aid might have been otherwise out of reach,” a statement added.
