Germany Donates Additional N2.2bn To Nigeria Humanitarian Fund by oshozondii: 5:01pm On Apr 28, 2020
Germany has announced another financial intervention to assist Nigeria in its response to the coronavirus pandemic.

Announcing in a statement via Twitter on Tuesday, the country said it is providing €5.5 million this time to support vulnerable people in Nigeria’s North-Eastern states of Borno, Adamawa and Yobe.

The statement read, “Germany provides an additional €5.5 million (c. 2.2bn Naira) to the Nigeria Humanitarian Fund managed by the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs in Nigeria to continue life-saving aid in Borno, Adamawa and Yobe States in the context of the COVID-19 crisis.

“Ongoing activities include drilling of wells, construction of sanitation facilities, rehabilitation of buildings or construction of shelters for internally displaced persons and other victims of insecurity in the North East.

“This brings Germany’s contribution to the NHF to a tota of €29 million since it became operational in May 2017, making Germany a major donor to the NHF over the past three years.”

The country also pledged €12 million to West Africa Health Organisation and Economic Community of West Africa States for the purchase of vital medical supplies and laboratory equipment, training measures, amongst other response to the pandemic in the region.

It added that it was providing the Nigeria Police Force with €20,000 worth personal protective equipment including hand disinfectant, protective clothing, surface disinfectant, face masks, clinical thermometers and gloves, adding that the materials would be handed over in Abuja shortly.

According to the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control, 41 confirmed cases of COVID-19 has been recorded in Borno, one in Adamawa while Yobe has no reported case yet.

Is enough we don't want it. Enough string attached already. Barka da Shan ruwa to my fellow Muslim ummah.
When I stood up, my steps were uncertain, as though I were wearing lifts in my shoes. I could feel the air between the soles of my feet and the ground. It was like something important had altered, like gravity, or the air itself.

With these little tokens? Someone must have informed them we accept kerosene and a loaf of bread for our votes without explaining that we are likely to evolve like people usually do.

I doubt this little would influence us much, but I guess starving easily influenced Nigerians exist.

Men if Ganduje is not prosecuted at the end of his tenure, then I’d lose faith in naija.

Haba, he was caught red handed on video, which is still plastered all over YouTube.

Not so much about the quantum but about the significance. It is about 'oiling' diplomatic relationships in protection of their economic interests in the eyes of government. It is also to create positive impression towards enhancing the perception of Germany among Nigerian public. The bottom line is that China inspite of its own far more donations and of course loan facilities wouldn't weigh a lot heavier on scale of public perception than Germany or US.

The reputation and leadership of the Federal Republic of Nigeria has positively grown in recent times that the impact of the international community on our Nation is being felt by all.

This indicates that the administration of His Excellence, President Mohammadu Buhari (GCFR) has been perceived and seen as one with great reputation, discipline and transparency.

With more work been done on rebuilding and rebranding of our reputation, I believe gestures like this are just a tip of the iceberg
