AN organisation seeking to ensure financial management in governance, BudgIT, has urged the Muhammadu Buhari administration to probe funds collected and utilised during last year’s outbreak of the Ebola Virus Disease (EVD).
BudgIT’s Project Manager Abiola Afolabi addressed reporters in Lagos at a lecture, titled: Ebola Fund Watch: Tracking Funds for Ebola Crisis in West Africa.
The group regretted that the last administration failed to set up an accountability framework to combat and manage the disease.
It said there was no clarity on how the funds were used.
BudgIT noted that with the outbreak of the EVD, 24,700 persons were infected and over 11,800 killed in Guinea, Liberia, Sierra Leone and Nigeria.
