Recall that Governor Udom Emmanuel during a recent update on the COVID-19 pandemic situation in the State had announced that the State government has so far spent N3 billion to fight the disease.
He noted that since the government had testified to have received monetary and material donations from individuals and corporate organisations, it was expedient for the people to know if the N3 billion was part of the donations received. His words,”You know from the onset we have been asking for transparency in the COVID-19 implementation within the State. First of all, the government has come out to mention that sum, which is commendable because that has been one of our advocacies, but the point is that we need to know exactly where the N3 billion is channeled to.
“For CSOs in the State, we need to exactly know the things that gulped the N3 billion. Was it on the building of treatment centre at Uruan? Did they buy drugs with that money? Was it on laboratory test? We are aware that testing costs between N30,000 to N40,000 as we learnt in other States. If you are spending public funds, you should be able to make the account public.“It is after the breakdown that we will be able to say, you couldn’t have spent this on that etc.
