A Twitter user, @DreamMan_NG has taken to the timeline to ask the Presidency as well as other parastatals to account for the N386 million budgeted by the Government to fight Coronavirus.

The virus responsible for the death of over 2,000 people just spread its embers into Nigeria's commercial hub and most populated city, Lagos State.

Dogged, fearless and bold, Bello asked the Government to account for the supposed money.

His tweet read thus: "On behalf of every sensible Nigerian who fear that we may not be able to contain the #COVID2019, I hereby ask the president @MBuhari and our representatives @nassnigeria, and @NGRSenate to reveal steps that has been taken with the N386m."



Some hilarious responses followed the thread.



Temitayo was glad by the Twitter user's confidence







Recall that the Federal Government released N386m to forestall unforeseen outbreak of the deadly COVID-19 virus, hitherto known as coronavirus.

The Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) received a sum of N315m while N71m was released to the port health services division of the ministry for improved surveillance at the ports of entry.
