The South Korean Government through the United Nations Habitat Programme (UN Habitat), has given a grant of twenty-five thousand dollars (USD $25,000) to support Niger Government in preventing the spread of Coronavirus in the state.
This was contained in a statement issued by Secretary to the State Government (SSG) and Chairman, Niger State Task Force on COVID-19 Pandemic, Ahmed Matane on Saturday.
He said the support by the South Korean government was for the execution of two demonstration projects to help curb further spread of COVID-19 pandemic in the state.
Matane stressed that the first project to be carried out with the support was the construction of a smart-metered solar borehole aimed at providing clean and steady water supply to the COVID-19 Isolation Centre at the General Hospital, Minna.
