Speaking while receiving the vaccine, Faisal Shuaib, NPHCDA executive director, said Nigeria “currently has in country 12,916,450 doses of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine”.
“On behalf of the federal government of Nigeria, I want to sincerely appreciate the European Union for your continued partnership in development. We have no doubt about the commitment of the European Union to the eradication of COVID-19 from Nigeria and the rest of the world. The onus is upon us to make rational and effective use of the vaccines,” he added.
