The Kogi State Government's COVID-19 risk assessment web and mobile application has stopped working......................

Asked why Kogi was not conducting tests, Governor Bello, during an interview on Channels TV, said the state had developed a special app to track possible cases of coronavirus infection.“So far, so good, we have launched an app and if nobody shows any sign or any cause for any test, we would not go out and begin to test anybody. Because there’s enough and adequate sensitisation of our citizens. So far, we don’t have any testing centres here but there’s one in Kubwa in FCT,” he said.

Experts said that explains why the state had not reported a single case and death over 250 days after its record of five cases in July. However, checks by this newspaper revealed that both the self-assessment portal and the app have been unavailable since the beginning of March 2021. In the breakdown, the government initially budgeted N150 million for the computer software project but ended up spending N90.7 million, thus saving N59,280,000.

From his portfolio, Mr Idakwoji’s company was, in the past, hired to build a couple of websites for the Kogi government, including the Ministry of Health and Governor Bello’s personal website. A tech expert and social commentator, Olanrewaju Oyedeji, criticised the Kogi State Government, stating that such projects question the integrity of the administration.

I'm from jigawa, we really appreciated his Excellency yahaya can do more than that.

He wants to take his stealing to the federal level. Not possible!

Cruise control 😆

The same Kogi state governor that disgusting Owu ape is rooting to be president of Nigeria?

Same governor said he doesn't believe in covid 19.

What moral grounds has he got to run for a position of the president, if this country were not runned by some set of thieves?

PDP 🧬

He's being soft with Kogi State treasurey that's why he used 90M on software, if he becomes president, he will spend 90B on hardwares. Soft hardened criminals in power.

Are you saying 300,000 is for the lite and 90 Million is for the beta?

Same man masquerading up and down to the president of this country 😂 why do we always get the worst of the worst ?

saiduabdulhams

Like something worse didn't happen in Lagos when Ambode uncovered Fashola's misdeeds. Oga opened Facebook account with N200m, something wey be say na free. There's really nothing new with these corrupt leaders of ours

SheyiToBadttt ... how far na

So wetin unha wan do now?

Which software please.

Kanu, Ninalowo, Cubana chief priest and other celebrities who went to meet Bello recently should cough out the money. They colluded to loot Kogi treasury.

😅

He calls himself white lion. The devil will be very angry with Nigerian leaders cuz d devil himself did not do half of wat our leaders are doing rn.

State house online defenders will soon be here. Shameless crooks

Lol nothing will be done

Blood of nebuchadnezar. And he wants to be President

Kanu, Okocha, BizzleOsikoya and other influencers won't call him unifier for free na.

A big shame. No governor is Nigeria is different. They are all the same. How is much is One software

That's the only style of governance yahaya bello understands

Where do you think he is getting money for his fake Presidential campaign?

Uhmmm una want to spoil his carrer

Probably went like this... Contract ₦90mil Subcontractor: ₦30mil Developer: ₦600k - ₦1m Sadly, none of those who gulped millions could read through the development contract or bother to understand what the contents meant (assuming they signed any).

Our next President 🙌

For the balance, ask Nigerian footballers, musicians, actors and other celebrities who have embarked on ‘pilgrimage’ to Lokoja of late.

I expect the commissioner for health to weep tears of blood this time.

Was it the same app that Bello was claiming detects COVID?

Mumu Bello, you are doing well

Miracle Governor

These are the elites! Shameful

Toh..........

This is an enterprise software, for crying out loud.this is state deployment. Tech deployment is subjective. How much did jack sale his NFT tweet? Drink cold water jor!

Will Nigerian leaders make heaven at all? These have no qualms about the serial breach of their oath of office.

90,000,000 for software , which problem is the software solving?

Naija sha. Ok N90M na scam but premiumtimesng and Telnet are valuing a state's application for N300,000. Abeg make una fear God na. How can a state's application be so cheap. That's why Naija developers will all japa na!

Can u imagine
