Lagos govt approved N61m for mass burial Of 103 ENDSARS victims
The memo dated July 19, 2023, captures steps for the processing of funds after approval by the governor.
Earlier, a Ministerial Tenders’ Board Meeting reportedly sat over the recommendations of the Procurement Planning Committee, after which no objections were raised to the award of the mass burial contract to a funeral service provider.
The five-paragraph leaked memo also directs that relevant taxes and deductions are remitted by the approved company.
In response, the Lagos State Ministry of Health confirmed the letter in a statement on Sunday evening, but insisted that details were being misconstrued.
The state government argued that the victims were from incidents of violence that occurred in the aftermath of the EndSARS protests.
