Governor state Kano, Dr Abdullahi Umar Ganjuje has revealed on Wednesday that it has applied for N15b from the Federal Government to fight the Covid-19 pandemic in the state
He disclosed this during a television programme ‘Politics Today’ aired on Channels Television.
The governor stated that the state had not received a dime from the federal government as support to fight the COVID-19 disease since when the state recorded its first index case of the virus.
Kano’s COVID-19 cases are rising by the day and in just over a week, the cases are close to a hundred.
Ganduje had last week declared a lockdown to curb the spread of the virus within the state.
He explained that the N15b would be expended in paying voluntary health workers engaged by the state to support the health personnel, personal protective equipment (PPE) and the creation of other testing centres.
“You can understand that Kano is the most populated in the country hence the only testing centre at AKTH is not enough for us,” said Ganduje.
However, reacting to the reported mass death in the state, the governor denied the report.
