  1. I know this is what we be the outcome of the public found money…… Nigeria why are we like this? A hole #31billion is too much now. Which covid-19 did tackle, Corona virus is not up to how you are mentioning it are we not in Nigeria, we have been expecting this for so long because we already know this will happen. Let me tell you Accountant General to the Federation your collation of this public found is not so and you must beer for it and people behind it. You spent 31b so far and covid-19 is not yet over till now, so you will still need another money os that not? You are not truthful.

  2. Really it a huge amount money ooh..but is our benefit bwcause Being stuck in the past is like walking forward with your back facing the front. You’ll always miss out on what’s in front of you.

  3. Haha! Why are they just telling us the figure? You were asked to highlight how you how you spend the money donated to you but you are just telling us the figure. Come out and explain or highlight how you spend the money.

  4. You spent #31 billion to tackle COVID-19 but what and what were you you were you able to procure for your citizens, what palliative were you able to provide for Nigerians. I hope you included the money that NDDC shared among themselves. All these money you are talking about, you shared it among yourselves not for masses.

  5. We are not interested on how much is been spent or how much is left all we hope is that the money should be used for what is meant for and not been tempered by some certain individuals.

  6. am not surprised at the figure that was why they don’t want to accept any vaccine that will kill this virus because of what they are benefitting from it, but the question is how was it spent? So you people should tell us we are all ears.
