COVID-19: Africa should not be the guinea pig

A raft of poverty alleviation programmes of the Major General Muhammadu Buhari regime has hit a stormy weather, exemplified in the hot exchanges between the National Assembly leadership and the Presidency last week. The Senate President, Ahmed Lawan and the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, told the Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Disaster Management, Sadiya Farouk, that the scheme was bereft of integrity and inclusiveness.

The Presidency, however, vehemently disagreed with the NASS leadership. Maryam Uwais, the Presidential Special Adviser on Social Investment Programme, said “Lawan and Gbajabiamila got it wrong.” She said that the claim that the National Social Investment Programme had taken more than N2 trillion since its inception was false. “Although the total appropriation by the National Assembly from inception for the four NSIPs is N1.

How will the government guard against waste, fraud, and abuse? Who will be charged with evaluating whether – and to what extent – the palliatives achieved their goals? It is the duty of the National Assembly to track the money and provide the transparency and guardrails necessary to ensure that the funds are transparently disbursed.

Was the impact of the Manhattan Project ordered by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt in the thick of World War II, which produced the atomic bomb not tested in the remote desert location near Alamorgodo, New Mexico before use on select locations in Japan?

You don't have any structure and you don't want to be guinea pig. Lol. Africa is not yet serious...

Story. Tell your so called African leaders to stop imposing themselves on those idiots. Tell them to invest in their youths that will bring light to Africa. By now Africans also should be working on a vaccine for this disease. AfricansAreNotLabRats

The stupid leaders (rulers) have sold us as one.
