NBTS STAFF COMMEND STUDENTS AS OAU ALPHA CLUB ORGANISED A BLOOD DONATION PROGRAMME DURING THEIR CHARITY WEEK.



 There was a Massive  turn-out of Obafemi  Awolowo University  students as Alpha Club organized  a blood donation  for  their  “Lifesaving”  progamme.
  Awareness  was  made  in all OAU  halls  of residence  about their charity  week which was  slated between Tuesday  17th-20th July, 2017. Free  buses were  made  available by  the  organization  for  the students of the institution going from Bus-stop to  gate on  the first day  which was 18th  of July.
  The  main programme  which was tagged “SAVE  BLOOD, SAVE  LIFE”  was brought to OAU campus  in conjunction with NATIONAL BLOOD TRANSFUSSION SERVICE.
   Two venues were  chosen for  the programme  to hold, one  at the  department of Micro Biology  and the other  at the  department of Physics popularly  known as  'White  House' .

 “People are  donating blood to save  life, and it  is encouraging as students are responding massively” said Mr. Paul-David, a member of Alpha Club.
 It was made  known  that  the club packaged some gifts as  compensation  to the  donors.  Mr. Paul told our correspondent that

"students did not donate their  blood all because of the  package  the club has been giving  them, but are doing  it  because  the want to save  life."

 “Some  of my  friends were  discouraging  me  not to  donate  my  blood but I did because  I have passion  for programmes  like  this that involves saving another human  life  since  I was a kid”  This statement was made  by  one  of the  donors , a  student of the department of Geology.
   One  of the  staff  of NBTS  said she was very  amazed as all  the donors were  being  tested before they  could donate  their  blood and none  of them was  detected to have  any  Sexually  Transmitted  Diseases (STDs)  which  render them  a  regular  donor anytime there is a need for  it. She commended the  students’  efforts for making  the programme  a  success.
