Nigeria has missed out of the United States $91 million COVID-19 response fund to African countries, as the country continues to battle poverty and insecurity.

Jeremy Konyndyk, the executive director of the U.S. Agency for International Development’s (USAID) COVID-19 task force in a statement made available to Peoples Gazette on Friday, while announcing the Western country’s intervention fund to Africa did not list Nigeria amongst the beneficiaries of the $91 million relief fund.

Mr Konyndyk said the relief fund was given to countries across the continent to address urgent humanitarian needs caused by the deadly COVID-19 pandemic.

He further detailed that the $91 million will provide needed food assistance, health care, water, and psychosocial support for people across Africa.

“Today, the U.S. Agency for International Development’s (USAID) COVID-19 Task Force Executive Director Jeremy Konyndyk announced more than $91 million to provide urgently needed food assistance, health care, water, and psychosocial support for people across Africa, in order to address urgent humanitarian needs caused by the devastating COVID-19 pandemic,” statement by USAID read.

Countries to benefit from the U.S COVID-19 relief fund include Burkina Faso, Burundi, Rwanda, Tanzania, DR Congo, and Mozambique. Others are Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan, and Zimbabwe.

Peoples Gazette had earlier reported that Nigeria lost $40.6 billion alone to insecurity in 2020 as unknown gunmen, killer herdsmen, bandits, Boko Haram, and ISWAP terrorists combined to unleash what many considered unprecedented violence on Africa’s most populous nation last year.

Also, the World Bank Nigeria Development Update said seven million Nigerians plunged below poverty line in 2020.

What do you have to say concerning the new Ibom republic?

Rissamenti:


It will be a tiny weak bitch of the western powers just like Equatorial Guinea. They have oil money, which one dictator just sits there sharing among his family and local/foreign cronies, while the population sees little to nothing.

Here's what your president would do. He will hire foreign mercenaries from say Israel or USA, plus his elite troops to guard his palace, and he will clamp down on opposition, be highly corrupt, and he will have the backing of the western powers.

If he tries to turn good leader and develop the country, he will be assassinated or have western-sponsored rebels sent against him, to topple him.

That's how it works with small, resource-rich African countries.

That's the script that been in operation since before you were born.

With the way APC miscreants were celebrating Trump being rigged out in the last election,one would think that Biden would be sleeping on the same bed with Terrorist Buhari once he assumes office.
Heavy tears of disappointment for zombies..
Their terrorist world is falling apart
