Presidency explains why FG is not giving funds to states to fight Coronavirus
TRACKING____The Presidency has explained why the federal government is not giving funds to states to fight the Coronavirus pandemic.
The Special Adviser to President Muhammadu Buhari on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina who spoke on a radio programme accused some Governors of prioritising the quest for money over the need to overcome the disease in the state.
He also revealed why the federal government provided funds to the Lagos state government to fight the outbreak of the disease in the state.
Adesina said;
“The Federal Government assisted Lagos State with N10 billion for its commitment and only because it was satisfied that the government of Lagos started on the right footing, rolling out proper plans and mobilising its fund to fight the pandemic.
“Lagos State was only scouting for technical, manpower and facility supports, not financial support.
“The Buhari government felt obliged to lend a financial hand not because it was asked to, but because it was convinced it should.”
