‘The Buhari can offer is to be radically transparent and judicious in its management of the COVID-19 funds’, new PUNCH editorial questions the Buhari led administration to give account of their CA COVID expenses.

The Coalition Against COVID-19 (CA COVID) raised over 21 billion naira to assist the federal governments in the fight against coronavirus apart from the initial N10 billion and N6.5 billion the Federal Government allocated to Lagos State and the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control respectively.

According to PUNCH,

“Nigerians are labouring under poverty. The irreducible minimum the Buhari regime can offer is to be radically transparent and judicious in its management of the COVID-19 funds. No details should be spared. The government should create a website and update it at speed for every individual, corporate and international donor, the amount and the equipment that were donated, and the beneficiaries. It should subject itself to media scrutiny to reduce leakages in government in general.”

I read this and laughed, can this be done ? Transparency in the Nigerian government?


Well personally I don't believe any Nigerian politician can be transparent even the average Nigerian (most) can't

Those are the things that is making our darling daddy to run away from the media.

Lol. Is like COVID19 is slowly dying away in this country.
I blame the eyes service mofos that donated to the Nigerian Government.
Imagine if CBN credited all our accounts? Business go boom, money will be in circulation and it will encourage people to open bank accounts since the government is pushing for cashless policies.
But this is Nigeria.

The Presidential Task Force for the Control of Coronavirus (COVID-19), says it is yet to receive any money from the funds donated by the private sector towards the fight against COVID-19 pandemic.

Alhaji Lai Mohammed, a member of the committee and the Minister of Information and Culture, disclosed this on Friday when he appeared on News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) Forum to give an update on the activities of the task force in the fight against the pandemic.

Mohammed expressed dismay over reported calls by some Non-Governmental Organisation seeking the probe of the task force over the deployment of monies gathered from the donations.


“We have not received even one kobo; people want us probed for how we spent monies we have not even seen.”

NAN reports that the opposition party, Peoples Democratic Party had similarly called for the disbandment of the task force to be replaced by Eminent Nigerians Group to manage the donations from the private sector and palliatives from the federal government.

Mohammed said that such criticisms were unfounded.

“I can say without any fear that as of this moment, the task force has not received a kobo from anybody.

“The only money we will be able to account for is whatever money we receive from the federal government.

“The Nigeria Economy Group-led private sector has said it is not going to give a penny to the task force; it says it will only raise the money and ask us what our needs are,” he explained.

Mohammed said that the task force had already compiled the needs.

“We have asked for more equipment and facilities, especially for those who might test positive to the virus.

“We anticipate a spike in the number of people that will test positive but there should be no cause for alarm.
