In terms of monetary contribution, the national coordinator has just informed you that different organisations and individuals are pioneering that in their efforts.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo far, I know of four different efforts. The first is the one being driven by the Central Bank and the corporate organisations, jointly being handled by the governor of the Central Bank and Alhaji Aliko Dangote.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey have a funding committee, they have an operation committee and they have a technical committee. They are going to run, fund, execute projects, buy equipment all in furtherance of fighting coronavirus. At the end of the exercise, they have explained in their document that they will appoint an accounting firm that will take an audit of their exercise and make a report to the donors for the purposes of accountability and transparency. Government does not have control of those funds, the presidential task force does not have control of those funds.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The SGF said the second effort is the one initiated by the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) which involves the upstream, the middle stream and the downstream levels of the oil and gas industry.<\/p>\n<div class=\"google-auto-placed ap_container\"><\/div>\n<p>\u201cThey (NNPC) will ask for locations, list of equipment, we will supply them, they will raise their funds, they will administer their funds, and at the end of the day, they will render accounts to the people that have donated to this particular enterprise. Government does not have control of this particular endeavour,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He said third is the one being driven by the United Nations family, and they are also raising funds from their own donor agencies and partners.<\/p>\n<p>The fourth source of funding, he said, is what the government will put into the coronavirus engagement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have just received a letter from the accountant-general informing us of the account that has just been opened yesterday,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, obviously no funds have gone into any account. Hopefully in the coming days, we would receive funding for the work of the presidential task force in terms of the different components of the multilateral or sectoral engagements. That is the one government will have control over and at the end of the enterprise, we would account for it.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Boss Mustapha, secretary to the government of the federation (SGF), says there has been no cash donation to the government to fight COVID-19.&nbsp; The SGF, who is also the chairman of the presidential task force on COVID-19, said there have been efforts by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), corporate bodies and individuals to raise&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1222,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[94,88],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.5 -
