It is quite unfortunate that the containment of coronavirus has been politicized by the Federal Government. While Lagos State received a grant of N10billion as a commercial hub, #Covid_19

Rivers State as the nation’s oil and gas hub that produces a greater percentage of the nation’s wealth has not received any support from the Federal Government.#Covid_19

One wonders why Federal Government should single out a state out of 36 States to give support. Does it mean that support will come when a State has a record of over 50 infected persons before it gets support. #Covid_19

No state should be seen as more important than any other state. This is a Federal Republic. No state is superior to others.

Rivers State is entitled to support from the Federal Government. Every day, we are inundated with letters from the Federal Government to allow oil companies to fly in expatriates to drill Oil.

Then we ask, what is the status of those coming from Lagos? Nobody has told us their status as regards coronavirus.

"If they come to come Rivers without us knowing their status, what will be implication assuming they have the virus."

This is absolutely correct ...I see no reason why Lagos would get and other states won't

That's true, in terms of revenue generation, Rivers state generates more more than Lagos State, so why should Rivers state not be given grants, or is Buhari waiting for the cases to get up to fifty before responding?

Do you have facts and figures to buttress your claim?

Giving Lagos 10 billion and giving the government agency in charge of handling the crisis all over Nigeria including Lagos 5 billion was all shades of wrong.

I said it that day in a thread.

Focusing much resources and funds towards Lagos is standard but that 10 billion is not it.

Is this about revenue generation or fighting a pandemic? Is Rivers the epicenter of the virus in Nigeria or Lagos? How many people have tested positive for the virus in Rivers state? Why do you guys like to play politics with everything?
