The state had not received a dime from the federal government as support to fight the COVID-19 disease.
This was disclosed by the state governor, Dr Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, during a television programme ‘Politics Today’ aired on Channels Television.
Kano’s COVID-19 cases are rising by the day and in just over a week, the cases are close to a hundred.
Ganduje had last week declared a lockdown to curb the spread of the virus within the state.
He explained that the N15b would be expended in paying voluntary health workers engaged by the state to support the health personnel, personal protective equipment (PPE) and the creation of other testing centres.
“You can understand that Kano is the most populated in the country hence the only testing centre at AKTH is not enough for us,” said Ganduje.
