COVID-19: Ayade releases N500m, 20 vehicles; inaugurates task force in Cross River - Daily Post Nigeria

The Governor of Cross River State, Prof Ben Ayade, has approved the release of N500 million for the state’s newly inaugurated COVID-19 Response Team.

“Cross River is an international border state, and with the incident in Cameroon, I call on President Muhammadu Buhari, I call on the Minister of Health to treat Cross River in a very peculiar way. We need the obvious and express attention of the federal government.” It is, therefore, our desire to ensure that Cross River continues to maintain zero incidence as far as this pandemic is concerned.

Governor Ayade lamented the effect of partial lock down on the people of the state but assured of palliative measures to cushion the effects. “It is against this background therefore, that I’m asking the Chairman of this taskforce to expedite action in ensuring that in all of those border points, proper screenings must take place so that all those who are free must get all the necessary medical supplies: sanitizers, nose masks etc.

“You are also to ensure that citizens have access to food, access to livelihood because after the Coronavirus comes humanity. And so we must be careful so that we dont create social vices- increased in criminality because of lack of food. That is why the Food Bank Director- General must recognize that food supplies to the various local governments are essential.”

God bless you sir.
