The Presidency has explained why the federal government shouldn’t be giving funds to states to combat the Coronavirus pandemic.

The Special Adviser to President Muhammadu Buhari on Media and Publicity. Femi Adesina who spoke on a radio programme accused some Governors of prioritising the search for money over the necessity to overcome the disease within the state.

Furthermore, He additionally revealed why the federal government offered funds to the Lagos state authorities. To combat the outbreak of the disease within the state.

“The Federal Government assisted Lagos State with N10 billion for its commitment. Only because it satisfied that the government of Lagos started on the right footing. Rolling out proper plans and mobilising its fund to fight the pandemic.

“Lagos State was only scouting for technical, manpower and facility supports, not financial support.

Moreover, “The Buhari government felt obliged to lend a financial hand not because it was asked to, but because it was convinced it should.” Adesina stated.
