Counting the 2020 blessings, the Chairman said the association has every reason to thank God despite the covid-19 spike in the state, adding that NASSI was able to achieve a lot.
“We are thanking God because He has been so kind and faithful to us during the corona virus period; we were working while others were closing businesses, NASSI was able to assess loans opportunities to our members”.
Great Sheyi noted that the association was moving triumphantly within the spike period as several programmes kept the association engaged during the pandemic.
According to him, the association was doing training in line with Covid-19 preventive protocols; we maintain social distancing, wearing of face mask and engaged in regular washing of hands; without mincing words, we have a successful 2020.
He reiterated the need to seek God eyes over high rate of insecurity and second wave of Covid-19 in the country.
