The Federal Government says it will soon constitute a special committee to monitor the disbursement of donations made by individuals, corporate organizations and public sector players towards addressing the corona virus pandemic.

The Minister of Finance, Budget and National Planning, ZAINAB AHMED, confirmed the development during an interview with newsmen in Abuja.

She said members of the committee would be made up of individuals from both the private and public sector.

The minister said the need to monitor the usage of the funds had become compelling to ensure transparency and accountability.

She said while the Presidential Task Force and the Accountant-General’s office would be saddled with the responsibility of disbursement, the separate committee would be in charge of ensuring that the fund was effectively used.
