"The government is most grateful for these gestures from distinguished Kwarans and organisations, including citizens whose contributions were borne out of patriotism than the size of their pockets," it added.
The statement also said a total of N1,569,107,944.70 has so far been expended on the pandemic between April 1 and June 29.
