The lockdown of some states will not go well if stipends were not paid to low income earners early enough, the forum added. The group suggested that critical measures must be taken to ease the effect of the outbreak of Coronavirus on the people.
According to Sahara reporters, the forum also advised the federal Government to turn the 50% security vote catering budget of Aso Rock to a “COVID-19 Special Fund”
In their precise words “The group said, Commence a program that allows businesses that are unable to remit VAT between the 20th of March 2020 and the 30th of June 2020 to do so by the 31st of March 2021, to enable a stable business climate and adaptation to the demands of the pandemic.
“Establish a special COVID-19 Fund Raising Committee charged with the sole task of collating funds pledged from the organised private sector, well-meaning individuals, international community and other NGO’s. The funds will be used to sponsor other palliative measures like the procurement of food stuff, face masks, and sanitisers to every local government in Nigeria, depending on need.
The forum called on the National Assembly to temporarily suspend the huge compensation package enjoyed by members comprising Senate House of Representatives by 50 per cent for the remainder of 2020 or the duration of the national shutdown. see http://myeduproject.com.ng/corona-virus-self-isolation-helps-to-recover-fast-stop-spreading
