On April 6th, the NDDC had awarded contracts to some companies for the supply of covid-19 intervention essentials and Osmoserve Global Limited got the largest share of the intervention contract totaling N4.9billion for the emergency procurement of medical consumables and equipment, including PPE and covid-19 test kits. But up till date, the company is yet to make them available even as health workers in the Niger Delta region keep complaining of the shortage of medical equipment and essentials to enable them carry out their duties with as little risk as possible.

Owned by wealthy businessman, Scott Tommey, Osmoserve’s tentacles are spread across various sectors of the economy including oil and gas.
