THE Presidential Steering Committee (PSC) on COVID-19 has disclosed that Lagos and Kano States got N10 billion and N5 billion respectively from the Federal Government to combat the pandemic as part of resources made available to states and Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

Chairman of PSC and Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Mr Boss Mustapha, made this known on Monday in his presentation entitled, “National Response to the COVID-19 Pandemic in Nigeria-The Journey so Far” at the summit on COVID-19 in Abuja.

According to him, while Lagos and Kano got N10 billion and N5 billion each, other states & FCT got N1bn each from the national response.

The national response commenced under the then Presidential Task Force (PTF) on COVID-19 in March 2020. It later transformed to the Presidential Steering Committee (PSC) with effect from March 2021.

He noted that the COVID-19 pandemic has undoubtedly become the most significant public health emergency of “our time”, stressing that at the end of November 2021, the World Health Organization (WHO) estimated that about five million fatalities had occurred on account of the virus.

SGF disclosed that the PTF/PSC has to date submitted two major reports to the government, in December 2020 and March 2021, adding the response remains a work in progress because COVID-19 has not abated.

“Countries of the world including Nigeria, have experienced the third wave and currently a fourth wave is unfolding with the Omicron variant,” he said.

Mustapha said: “We have steadily been implementing the COVID-19 protocols, joining the world to ease up restrictions The evolution of the pandemic showed us that remaining vigilant and consistent on our science-based approach is crucial until such time that we are all safe.

“The emergence of the omicron variant of concern highlights how fragile and vulnerable we are global.

“It is therefore important that we maintain pressure on the COVID-19 virus until we deny it the opportunity to continue to circulate and mutate.

“Our overall focus will be to scale up vaccination of our population to reach targets set by the WHO. Nigeria needs to continue to implement public health and social measures in place combined with effective vaccination now that we are getting the vaccines.

“With the emergence of Omicron, Nigeria, like some other countries have become targets of restrictive measures.

“This has to be only on a strong basis of science and data. Nigeria joins the WHO and other countries in calling on countries of the world to implement risk-based international protocols that are in line with international health regulations whilst we are developing a new pandemic treaty that will avert this type of situation.

“Global health security is our collective responsibility irrespective of our economic status,” he said.

Some of these government agencies would wish COVID-19 doesn't go away because of the big cashing out they are into...


Money exchanging hands swiftly.

They should utilize this money very well.
Let us chase coronavirus away in our society finally.
And it is too soon to stop washing your hands and using your face masks.

Damnnn niggar
Isoright

Upon all the preferential treatment lagos dey get in everything

Still that place ehnnnn

Make i nor talk

Lagos government steady cash out!

Is alright. Continue.

See free money that will enter only the politicians pocket, I dont trust any of these politicians when it comes to do with funds from covid19. I remeber how they ganged up against the masses and hid the palliatives that was meant for the mases, so I will not be surpise if these money also goes missing at the end.


Now I understand why these politicians are forcing us to take the vaccine or else we lose our job.

They have eaten the money and they need to either refund it or force the masses to take the jab. Lol

But our noise maker governor said he was spending between 200k and 1m naira to treat just one covid-19 patient daily. The isolation centres were mainly donated for free to the state. The level of fraud going on in lagos is out of this world.

I don't care what his blind supporters might feel about this . Google remains their friend if in doubt.

One and half years more is all he needs, his kingmaker at Bourdillon too. Enough said

Nice one, God bless our lovely president Baba Buhari

Benefits and stimulus checks should go to citizens directly

Giving Ganduje , Sanwo-Olu and other Governors like Yeye Bello is just an avenue to enrich them... Just as we saw what happened with the palliatives

Amazing

Okay

Thieves

Where are the remaining hidden palliatives

Yeye country

Choi... See money o... Covid19 scamotopia ... The scandemic

The gap between other states and Lagos with Kano is to far.....

They have started cashing out again. God will punish our leaders. From tinubu to orji ozor kalu,to lucky igbenidion to buhari. And may God punish those supporting this evil men even here on nairaland.

If the vaccine works. Why doesn't it work?

A new wave of restrictions is sweeping Europe, enforcing a system of two classes and specifically targeting the unvaccinated—even though the product separating the two groups doesn’t stop the spread of the virus it is supposed to target…

"The question has to be asked—what is the point? What is the point of forcing the population to be vaccinated with something that's not going to prevent them from getting sick?"
