The News that NCDC has spent one Billion in sending text messages to Nigerians is FAKE! The center via its verified twitter handle has stated saying;
“The headline claiming that NCDC has spent N1 billion on SMS to Nigerians is FALSE
While communication through SMS is a key part of our #COVID19 response strategy, this has been largely provided as in-kind support by @AirtelNigeria @MTNNG @GloWorld
TakeResponsibility”
During this pandemic let’s do all to support NCDC and healthcare workers who are risking their lives and the well-being of the families to rid the nation of covid-19.
