The minister revealed this in a meeting with the Senate Committee on Health on the level of national preparedness to prevent corona virus from coming into the country.
He said the ministry on Thursday submitted a memo seeking the release of the fund to take proactive measures to contain the virus.
He said already, N71m had been released to the port health services for operations.

Okurrr🙄
ReplyDeleteWhich of them does this money belong to now?
ReplyDeleteDon't mind them.china silently built hospital within a few weeks to tackle the problem,these ones are announcing annoying figures.
DeleteTime to share the money has come.🤦♀️🙆♂️🤣🤣
ReplyDeleteThis is a very good move! Corona virus is spreading like wildfire and it has killed more than a thousand people (even though China is saying 653 people have died from the deadly virus) and infected more than one hundred thousand people. Believe the communist party of the people Republic of China at your own risk.
ReplyDeleteThe first doctor that discovered the recent novel Corona virus is dead and there are rumours that he didn't died from the viru (even though he contracted it from one of his patients) but, that he was killed by the Communist government.
The federal government should be prepared.
Other countries have since slashed out money to different health departments.. Those protective kits and disinfectants don't come cheap.
I support this move.
Please, if you have not been following updates about the deadly virus, don't come her to air your ignorant.
Thank you for this comment. I hope Nigerians know that there is currently no isolation facility where an infected person will be kept if this virus gets to naija. People should go and find out how much N95 mask cost and the full body PPE
DeleteHmmmm, the way our leaders likes to share money is something else.
ReplyDelete620 million that will be chopped anyhow?? Some ghost contractors are about to be made overnight millionaires.
ReplyDeleteNigeria
ReplyDelete!!!!!
Everything is an avenue to share money ,
I'm hoping they'd be proactive and not to just share the money amongst themselves.
620million naira to care for a population of over 180million people of Nigeria while 37billion naira is to renovate a house used by 109 senators?
ReplyDeleteBV Don, is this the so called preparedness the govt you're defending can come up with?
They af come
ReplyDeleteThere is God o.se the virus that have reached Naija or the one on the way? We this budgeted money isn't "too small" like this?
ReplyDeleteHmm, Naija I hail o, pls sha don't run Nigeria dry.
You are obviously daft. So they wont prepare for how it will be contained in case it gets to naija. You want gov to wait. There is something called emergency preparedness. Stop thinking at the spinal level that is if you think at all.
DeleteMoney has landed, you will soon hear how they shared the money among them.
ReplyDeleteThe point is that this money is for those not concerned to share. It is already in private pockets.
ReplyDeleteDid the minister say anything that the money will be used in doing? of course not.
It's amazing how so many Nigerians are ignorant. All this money have their budget open for the public to peruse but because all you do with your data is to be browsing shit and visiting blogs you wont know how to access such information.
DeleteOk o!!!!
ReplyDeleteIf this money will be channelled to the purpose it was created, it's a very good move but I know Nigeria my country very well. Una weldone Fed. Govt.
ReplyDeleteDo you people know how much reagents for testing this viruses cost? Altona kit used for testing Lassa fever virus costs 750k for a pack and government provides this tests for free for Nigerians in affected states. They also provide the PPEs and treat people free. So that millions that looks like plenty money to you people will not be enough if and when that Corona virus comes
