As efforts to bring an end to the Coronavirus Disease, COVID-19 in Nigeria continues, commendations have come the way of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.
Kwara State governor, AbdulRaman AbdulRazaq, has revealed that funds recovered by the Commission for the state have been helpful in setting up Isolation Centres as part of its strategic activities to combat the disease.
It will be recalled that among other recoveries, the Ilorin Zonal Office of EFCC, handed over N263 million only to the state in March 2020, being recovered money stolen from the Kwara Internal Revenue Service, KWIRS and 16 Local Government Areas of the state.
AbdulRazaq, while giving an update on COVID-19 in Kwara State, said the recovered funds strengthened Kwara’s ability to put in place necessary facilities, among other counter-COVID-19 efforts, as well as revamping the state’s hitherto ailing health sector.
He said: “We have bought five new ambulances (three on the ground and two are on the way).”
