The Nigerian Red
Cross (NRC) has appealed for blood donations for victims of the collapsed building
on Lagos Island.
Olakunle Lasisi,
Secretary of NRC, Lagos made the appeal in an interview with news men on
Thursday in Lagos.
Speaking on the
hashtags #DonateForItafaji and #savetheitafajichildren trending on social
media, to solicit for blood donations from the public, he said Red Cross would
partake in the exercise.
Lasisi added that
he spoke with the Lagos State Blood Transfusion Service on Wednesday, and
confirmed that the information was true.
He confirmed it was launched by the MD of the General Hospital, so that the hospital can have enough blood in the bank to assist the casualties of the collapsed building.
