Governor Willie Obiano of Anambra State has appealed to the Federal Government for the sum of N1bn to secure his state against COVID-19 spread.
Obiano said Anambra had opened a special account for donations towards preventing coronavirus from spreading into the state, which currently has zero records of COVID-19.
In a statement by the Commissioner for Information and Public Enlightenment, C-Don Adinuba, the governor said the steps were in line with the state’s resolve to ensure it remained free of the disease.
He urged the Federal Government to avail the state N1bn to help it to sustain the zero record because of the strategic nature of Anambra State people in commerce and industry.

The statement read in part, “Governor Obiano, therefore, considers it imperative that the Federal Government provides at least N1bn to Anambra, which is at risk in view of the multitude of people in its numerous markets and the peripatetic nature of the people who have been helping in the rapid development of all parts of Nigeria.
