Ahead of the planned handing over of the COVID-19 fight to state governments as hinted by the federal government through the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19, there are fears and doubts on the capacity of some of state governments to handle the pandemic.

Kaduna

With two active molecular diagnostic laboratories for COVID-19 testing and a recently delivered mobile testing truck to boost its testing capacity for the virus, many would say Kaduna State is capable of handling the fight against COVID-19 even as it awaits the validation of the Germfree Containerised Modular BSL-3 laboratory at the Yusuf Dantsoho Memorial Hospital by the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control. Some residents of Kaduna have expressed apprehension that the state government may not be capable of fighting the virus without the assistance of the federal government.

This is in spite of a recent statement by Governor Nasir El-Rufai that the federal government had not made any financial assistance to the state in the fight against the virus. Abdullahi Ibrahim, a resident of Tudun Wada is not optimistic that the fight against Covid-19 should be left in the hands of governors. Abubakar Aliyu shares the same view, stating that if the federal government is in charge, coordinating Covid-19 response will be centralized to help in key decision making

Kebbi

In Kebbi, there is no COVID-19 testing center as the state relies on Sokoto testing center for now. During one of the press briefings at the peak of the pandemic the chairman of the State Task Force on COVID-19, Mohammed Jafar, said doctors and health workers were trained on handling the pandemic.

Jafar, who is also the state Commissioner for Health, recently announced special monetary packages for the front line health workers that included doctors, nurses, pharmacists, ambulance drivers and cleaners as part of efforts to combat the pandemic.

Confusion blowing in the air

Clueless bubu never stood a chance. I am still shocked that they haven't blamed the past administrations for this kovik 1--- 9.

They can't even fight common corona virus outbreak in states, yet states cooperating together to set up security outfits to fight the rise of terrorism, genocide and violent extremism killing more people than Corona and Lassa virus combined across Nigeria are being persecuted by the same Fulani regime headed by buhari. Bloody terrorists murderers.
I urge Middle Belt and Southern states to NEVER yield to blackmail from buhari's Fulani regime. They are the sponsors of genocide, and Fulani banditry in this country to pave for total FULANIZATION OF NIGERIA.
Bloody terrorists murderers.
ONE NIGERIA IS DEAD.

Confusion blowing in the air

The confusion is everywhere from Donald Trump to the WHO reversing decisions and all what not.

The world was never prepared for a pandemic so handling it would be confusing and there would be a lot of trial and errors.

Our duty is to pray and listen to advice. StaySafe.

I see.

After they've embezzled the COVID19 funds then tell us they involved the ICPC, DSS in supervising the disbursement of billions to feeding off school children.So funny.

They should also handover all covid19 donations to the states to fight this pandemic. those donations were made to be used in this battle and so it's the right thing to do.

Federal government should hand it over to Nigerians. We can handle it ourselves
