The Nigeria Centre for Disease Control has debunked report claiming that NCDC has spent N1 billion on SMS to Nigerians.

This was disclosed by the NCDC in a Twitter message on Thursday.

“According to the Centre, 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 #COVID -19 response strategy, this has been largely provided as in-kind support by @AirtelNigeria @MTNNG @GloWorld”.
