In total, 22 donors have supported the fight to eradicate the virus from the country.

So far, both the federal and state governments have received the sum of N40,771,000,000 as donation to the project. 

In a breakdown of the funds, the federal government led the campaign with a donation of N10bn grant to Lagos State and N5bn to the Nigerian Centre for Disease Control, the agency leading the fight against the virus.

While Tony Elumelu of United Bank for Africa donated N5bn to the government, Keystone Bank, Segun Agbaje of Guaranty Trust Bank, and Jim Ovia of Zenith Bank donated N1bn each.
