Magashi, who spoke on “Nigeria’s COVID-19 Funding and Recovery Plan: The role of the media” called on the Federal Government to ensure efficient and transparent utilisation of all COVID-19 funds. The AHBN boss, who was represented by the Senior Programme and Partnership Officer, Obinna Onuoha, noted that the COVID-19 funding and recovery plan touches the lives of all Nigerians, and as such the public should be adequately informed on how each penny is utilised. He urged ANHEJ members to ensure they ask hard questions on the type, nature and duration of funding support for every recovery plan while the media should ensure that all Nigerians are well informed with facts. “Every COVID-19 funding and recovery plan touches the lives of all Nigerians, and as such, we must ensure that the public is adequately carried along. If you have not heard it before, I say it to you now, you are saving millions of lives by the work that you d,” Magashi said.
