Akwa Ibom Govt spends N1billion on fight against COVID-19
Governor Udom Emmanuel of Akwa Ibom State said his government has so far spent about one Billion Naira to tackle coronavirus pandemic in the State.
He said COVID-19 never met Akwa Ibom State unprepared as it already had isolation centre with 25 bed/modern facilities, 13 ventilators, functional intensive care unit and digitised/functional situation room and call center manned by 50 medical experts. “On lockdown, I will come back to announce very soon. We were waiting to also consult with other States because in situations like this, no state can work in isolation.
He noted that Akwa Ibom States government had received 1800 custom bonded warehoused rice from the FG, stressing that he would not share the rice to the people because they had shown signs of decay and may not be suitable for consumption.
