In a statement issued by Director of Press and Information, HenshawOgubike, the AGF said, “Government has announced that N1. 689bn was received as COVID-19 eradication support donations from April 1 to May 31, 2020 through designated commercial banks, the CBN and TSA.”

The government, through the AGF, recently opened accounts in commercial banks in addition to the CBN/TSA account, through which donations for COVID-19 could be made to ensure efficient coordination and management of the funds.

He said, “Details of the N1.689bn received from when the accounts were opened on April 1 to May 31, indicated that N792m was received from April 1 to May 8, 2020, while N897.6m was received from May 9 to 31.

“From the N 897.6m, government received N710.076m through commercial banks, while N187.559m was received through the CBN/TSA.”

Meanwhile, the CBN had last month announced that the Nigeria Private Sector Coalition Against COVID-19 had so far raised N27.160bn to help fight the scourge.

Update on the contributions as at April 23 was revealed in a document released by CBN’s Director of Communications, Isaac Okorafor on behalf of the coalition detailing the list of contributors and their donations.
