[EBOLA UPDATE] Rivers Yet To Receive FG N200m Assistance Fund
The Rivers State Government has said it is yet to receive any monetary assistance from the Federal Government following the outbreak of Ebola Virus Disease in the state.
But the Lagos State Government, which first recorded the outbreak of the deadly virus in the country over two months ago, had acknowledged receiving N200m from the Federal Government.
The Rivers State Commissioner of Health, Dr. Sampson Parker, who made the disclosure in an interview with journalists on Saturday in Abuja, however, stated that the state government had received a budget of N1bn from Emergency Operation Committee to fight EVD in the State.
