The Oyo State government has spent N2.7 billion in the fight against the spread and containment of the Coronavirus pandemic in the state, the Commissioner for Finance in Oyo State, Akinola Ojo, has said.
He maintained that the state considered it imperative to inform the public on the expenses on the pandemic in line with the principle of transparency and accountability, which he claimed the governor, Seyi Makinde, is known for.
The commissioner, who said that the state has approved a total of N15,000 per health worker as hazard allowance, added that the allowance would be paid from March 2020. Mr Ojo alleged that though the state was promised the sum of N100 million by the Federal Government, it was yet to receive the money from the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control .
“These donations are publicly available on Oyo State government website and they are regularly updated. “We have also been able to provide security by securing the state borders, which has cost us N450 million. We provided security trucks and the cost of personnel.
