The ₦15 billion donated by private individuals and companies cannot be shared to Nigerians by FG – Lai Mohammed

Nigeria’s Minister of Information, Lai Mohammed has said the Federal government cannot share to Nigerians the funds donated by private Nigerians and organizations for the fight against COVID19.

In his words ;

“The private sector donors are not giving any cash to the federal government and they have made this clear to the people. They said they will support the fight against the pandemic by asking government where they want healthcare infrastructure to be provided.

What government has done is to request them to build a 30-bed isolation ward and a 10-bed Intensive Care Unit in each state in the country. In addition, the federal government has given them a list of equipment and commodities that will also be needed. Therefore, the issue of using their donations to provide palliative cannot arise.”
