NCCE yet to receive funds for coronavirus education – Director

The Greater Accra Regional Director of the National Centre for Civic Education (NCCE), Lucille Annan has disclosed that they are yet to receive their budget.

She said this has hindered the Centre’s responsibility of doing a mass education exercise to Ghanaians on the coronavirus pandemic.

“We have provided our budget for COVID-19 education to Parliament, but we have not received it. Maybe they are still working on it for us so for now, we don’t have the funds. That is why for now the partnership with the Church of Pentecost is of so much help to us.”

The Church of Pentecost has donated 10 vans to the National Commission on Civic Education (NCCE) to aid its public education activities on coronavirus.

The intervention by the Church is aimed at augmenting government’s efforts towards curbing the spread of the virus in the country.

Ghana has recorded nine more cases of the novel coronavirus (COVID 19) as of Thursday, April 2, 2020.
