Meanwhile, the El-Rufai-led government has a life insurance package for frontline health workers dealing with COVID-19 to the tune of N5 million.
Speaking at the 24th edition of The Platform, hosted by Poju Oyemade’s Covenant Nation, the governor said the state is taking extraordinary care of its health workers.
“We took extraordinary steps to get PPEs for our health workers, we didn’t want to expose any of our frontline workers. We also insured their lives to the tune of N5 million, anyone that dies in this process, his family will get N5 million,” he said.
“We have additional disability insurance for those that get sick and cannot work but are not dead. We are also giving special allowances to all health workers, as well as extraordinary allowances to those on the frontline.”
