The Nigeria Governors Forum, NGF, has revealed that the country could assess COVID-19 vaccine by the end of February.
A communique signed by the NGF Chairman, Kayode Fayemi after a virtual meeting of state Governors, claimed efforts are ongoing with the World Bank to ensure Nigeria assess the vaccines.
According to Fayemi, there is an arrangement for the World Health Organisation (WHO) “to facilitate pooled procurement and the equitable distribution of COVID-19 vaccines across developing countries.
“Nigeria is among 12 countries in Africa that have indicated its readiness of the 92 qualified countries for the facility and will by end of February 2021 receive its first shipment of vaccines.”
