The Nigerian Government has said that it spent N30,540,563,571.09, representing 84 per cent of the N36.3bn public funds and donations received to respond to COVID-19 between April, 2020 and July, 2020, leaving the balance of N5.9bn.
SERAP’s Deputy Director, Kolawole Oludare, said in a statement on Sunday that Idris, in his undated response also indicated that “the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19 spent N22bn; while 36 states spent N7bn on COVID-19”. The groups said, “It is refreshing to note that 115 ordinary Nigerians donated between N1 and N100 to support the authorities’ efforts to fight COVID-19, despite the fact that it is the country’s poorest and most disadvantaged sectors of the population that continue to bear the brunt of the COVID-19 pandemic.
