Bauchi State Primary Healthcare Development Agency says the state government spends N1,500 per meal for COVID-19 patients on admission in the state.

News Agency of NigeriaMohammed, who is also the Chairman, contact tracing Committee on COVID-19 in the state, said Governor Bala Mohammad gave the directives in order to ensure that all the COVID-19 patients in the state were well fed.

He said the idea was to make sure that they feel more at home and avoid a replica protest or revolt by COVID-19 patients in some other states.“It was the state governor that ordered us that we should put N1,500 per single meal in a day. “That is, N1,500 meal during breakfast, the same amount for lunch as well as dinner because he doesn’t want anybody in isolation to suffer or complain so that we won’t have any riot like in some other states.

“This brings the total amount of money on meal per day to N4,500 on a single patient,” Mohammed said.reports that the state, as of Saturday, May 24, had recorded 232 confirmed cases of COVID-19; 164 had been discharged so far, five deaths, with 63 active cases.

SHOW US D PEOPLE WE WANT TO SEE THEM.

The angel who directed me to Nigeria, una weldone o...

Everything in Nigeria is a means to loot, those family earn 20k a month. Now you feed one of his child with 1500 a day

Is that an achievement? Less than $5... It's high time we got things right in this Nation.. Y'all should be ashamed of yourselves.. Zamfara's Governor spent over 2bn on sallah, 50m on cattle alone.. And you're proud to say 1500 on human... What a messed up mess!💔

Of a truth, politicians don't rate us. As many who are making blood money in the cause of this pandemic, the wrath of God will befall you, amen.

Only?

Ahhh shit...here we go again

How much is that in dollars your Excellency

This is one of the problems this country is facing, slightest opportunity for embezzlement of public funds, the greedy leader don't fail to take it up, I'm scared when the fg releases her own spending on CV_19.Last time Lagos said test cost her 800m amount to 50k per test, isokay

Lol, 99% of Nigerians cant afford that amount per meal. I am an aircraft engineer, I cant.

I don't want to hear money till after COVID

What are they eating? Scam everywhere

The amount is even too small! Peanut 🏃🏃🏃

So they can't make a big broth and serve from there? Na buy una dey buy food from eatery?

Breakfast, lunch, dinner or all of the above?

TUO is too expensive in Bauchi , but why ?

Understandable

The meals must have been ordered frm McDonald's in order to give them unbeatable experience. You know the landing cost when you gat order the tuwo masara from Shanghai & the mia kuka from Miami. Yeye dey smell.

Lie lie republic... Wetin dem dey chop? Nna don fool us enough na. So u spend 4,500 per day on a patient meal! Nna Weldon o...

I laugh oooo

He good gan, are they on death row

😂😂😂😂😂 them want tell us another story,story o story ooooo this government lie fit make corona virus catch person 😷😷😷

Shebi they first said N4500

Na Pizza dem dey chop everyday

Shame!!!

Mama put. Una try

How much do they pay the patients as Covid19 allowance? Just asking for a friend.

Dem say dem feed person with 1,500 per meal, plenty ladies for Twitter say E too much. But if you take them out they will eat 10k per meal and still complain.

Dey don start

What kind of food are they being served? There is more to this than meets the eye.

1500 naira per meal is fair .

It can't be possible. How good is the is meal to have worth such an amount ?

Barawo

U don't mean it

I have not recovered from the attack they gave me on Sahara reporters because of this headline. I still maintain that 750 is enough for the day for a patient in that isolation center. Quote me anyway.

No wonder the index cases is on increase side.

COVID 19.... Operation CashOut

If that is the case, a lot of the patients won't want to recover and go home. It's like many NYSC members who pray that the service year should continue indefinitely.

OK.. Weldon

I'd love to be a patient

PDP for you!

I don't blame you lots, I blame the commons among us who fail to change where they came to find their ways to uniforms, acting as guards in form of police, military, etc to legalized criminals who loot us blind even amidst disasters, you all eat the future of this country!

By the time COVID-19 is over, these corrupt incompetents would have burrowed an uncoverable hole in Nigeria. PDP really were learners.

U meant 500

Hope what they 'spend' is same as what they offer

What a joke of a country we found ourselves in may God guide us aright. so pathetic.

Hmmm

Wonderful

I hear you 1500 kor😀😂

I said it from the beginning they will use this covid - 19 steal the remaining of our money ,, ndi ochi ndi ochi

Who dem dey bo bo! Werin N1500 wan buy abeg?

Fair!

ie 4500k per day per person. Wonderful

Time to go to Bauch for isolation

Na hotel service b this o

And so what? Should they feed themselves?

All this bogus claims are contributing to the reasons why some people believe the Covid 19 is just created to make money.

How much be preganacy test, HIV test bi ko nu. Covid na 50k, na higher education dey dey take collect sample and record info. Or the laboratory as usual she na oversea e dey ni. We dey here dey look. This money we people chop go cause fight n their linens dem go wash for outside

Make dem snap the message we see nah. Invisible patients every where, make dem snap patients as dem dey chop the 1.5k meal (blur the face of the patient though). This country is something else. Lagos comm: said Covid test cost 50k plus and dey he test 16k cases so far.... God dey

Reasonable

You mean on malaria patience?

Wetin them dey chop?

Lol na KFC food dem chop

Another lie

Please is there still a vacant bed there? Maybe I need to be quarantined there. My feeding money should be given to me in cash. 4500 daily

No wonder everyone in Bauchi wants to become patient even the bandits

Abeg, weti Dem dey chop?

😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂

Na sharwama dem dey eat every meal ni?😂🤣😄😃😂😁😁😂😄😄😃😃

This is reasonable. Some states would have said 20,000 Naira per meal.

Somebody should wake me up please. Nigeria politicians 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🙆🙆🙆🙆🙆🙆🙆🙆🙆🙆🙆🙆🙆🙆

Dats a total of 4500 if a patient is gonna complete his/her daily meals. We are good at only one thing in ds nation; Corruption!!

Food wa mama put dey sell 500 una dey tel us 1500 oga respect your old age your children are online

Wow, incredible... Covid19 patients are really feeding well over there. Thats N4,500 per day, in 14 days, they feed on N63,000. Well done Bauchi State

You will say it again to your lord when you die. Just a little more time.

Are they ordering food from chicken republic per meal for them?

Really?

If it is contracted out to sophisticated eateries, then it makes sense but if what is been served looks like mama put food, then this is not stealing. It's armed robbery. The north happens to be where food is the cheapest. To serve mama put for 1500 is armed robbery.

This is Nigeria Look how we living now Look how we living now Our leaders are criminals

Maybe they were given them human part, even at that

Mr. Biggs rice

This man don’t even know how to lie

Uhmmmmm

1500 naira is tooo small self

Wow

Lie kill you there. 😠😠😠😠😠😠😠

Follow follow follow to follow u back, we can play it here

Really?!

WONDERFUL!!!!!! Pls have they been feeding them on gold dust?

Am sure with enough rice in Kano this amount will be on weekly basis.

Strategic way of embezzling the people's fund... WakeUpNigeria

Looting on point. God safe us!
