INVESTIGATION: Kogi Govt Spent N90 Million On A N300,000 Software by sinkhole: 8:40am On Mar 26, 2021 |
The Kogi State Government last year spent N90 million on software that the developers now offer for only N300,000. The software, approved by a COVID-19 sceptic, Governor Yahaya Bello, was for tracking coronavirus cases in the state. However, the software is no longer functioning as the developers said they had a contract to host it for only one year. At a time Nigeria had just recorded over 6,000 cases of COVID-19, the Kogi State Government announced it had developed a software, which is basically for risk assessment. The state government said the software, which comes in a mobile application and website, was one of its measures to curb the spread of COVID-19 in Kogi. The software uses the checklist of the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) for suspected and high-risk cases to evaluate users. Financial records obtained by PREMIUM TIMES revealed that the state government procured the software at a cost of N90,720,000. But checks by our reporter showed that the same software now costs only N300,000 from the same company that developed it for the state government. An official of the state also admitted that the government actually spent less than a million naira for the project and could not defend the N90.7 million announced expenditure; an indication the declared price was excessively inflated. Kogi and COVID-19 As of March 2020, when Nigeria had about 6,000 confirmed cases of COVID-19, Kogi and Cross River were the only two states in the country with a zero-case status. The NCDC had raised an alarm then that the two states were not conducting tests for the virus. For instance, in Kogi, officials deployed by the federal health agency were denied cooperation and controversially sent back. Asked why Kogi was not conducting tests, Governor Bello, during an interview on Channels TV, said the state had developed a special app to track possible cases of coronavirus infection. https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/451147-investigation-kogi-govt-spent-n90-million-on-a-n300000-software.html 3 Likes 2 Shares

I knew this idiot is a fraud, a thief and a heartless slowpoke. Killed scores of people during the 2019 election. He and his supporters singing tatatata songs in merriment for murdering people. The IOC should as a matter of urgency arrest and prosecute this devil. 2 Likes |

A good software like that that works well will cost more than N300,000 but not N90 million. |

This is annoying, ridiculous and funny all at the same time! How can you use a software to track Covid-19 when it's not a human virus. This shows the thinking capacity of our leaders in this country. This Covid-19 pandemic was a very good avenue for many people in government to cash out with reckless abandon. Kogi state has ALWAYS been plagued by very poor leadership and this present governor is the poorest (in terms of leadership and administration) of them all. The state capital is like a glorified village. No meaningful human and capital development. I Love my country but I'm very ashamed of our leaders! 3 Likes 1 Share |
