FG seeks NASS’ approval for N500b COVID-19 intervention fund

The Minister of Finance, Budget and National Planning, Mrs. Zainab Ahmed, made the disclosure when she met with the leadership of the National Assembly in Abuja. The meeting was a follow-up meeting to the one held last Wednesday between the National Assembly leadership, and members of the Presidential Committee set up for the management of the COVID-19 crisis.

She added: “We know that there will be a need for the parliament to agree and approve the taking of loans from these special accounts and we will be coming back with a proposed bill in that regard that will define what the fund will be used for.” “This meeting, the second in the series after we shut down the National Assembly for two weeks, is a clear testimony of what we have said. Governance requires that we work together, so we want to listen to those things that you have on your side and how we can also play our constitutional role in ensuring that Nigerians continue to benefit from governance and how we are able to weather the storm created by COVID-19.

A doctor who preferred anonymity told The Guardian: “The situation is complicated. Who knows how many people he must have infected before his death? I hope he has not infected all of us with the virus.

He said LUTH’s Department of Community Medicine has moved swiftly to trace, follow-up and assist staff, who managed the patient. Chairman of the forum, Governor Atiku Bagudu of Kebbi State, in a statement, noted that it behooves Nigerians to stay safe and work together towards overcoming the scourge. A development economist, Dr. Chiwuike Uba, who gave the warning lamented that the country has failed to take advantage of lessons learnt from the 2014 Ebola outbreak by building and equipping healthcare facilities in preparation for future outbreaks.
