Lawan said this in Abuja while declaring open a National Summit on COVID-19 with the theme: ‘End the Pandemic and Build Back Better.”He told the participants at the summit that “in the 2022 appropriation, whatever is necessary will be provided for Nigeria to continue to fight the pandemic and beyond it.

Lawan assured Nigerians that “members of the National Assembly and other political leaders in the country take the health of Nigerians very seriously and we will continue to be alive to our responsibility to ensure that our citizens are protected. Lawan also paid tribute to patriotic and gallant health personnel who had sacrificed so much to fight against the pandemic stressing that Nigeria would remain indebted to them.

“The NASS proactively reviewed the Medium-Term Expenditure Framework and the 2020 national budget to sufficiently fund the national response to the pandemic and to provide economic stimulus packages for Nigerians. “The oversight functions of the Assembly necessitated the proper scrutiny of how the aforementioned funds were expended and also monitored strict compliance with resolutions concerning the fair and equitable distribution of palliatives to the vulnerable.

“However, our recent experience has also shown that outbreak of diseases affects not only the health sector but also the social-economic sector of the nation.
