“To show my confidence in the safety and efficacy of these vaccines, I received my first injection today, and I urge all Nigerians to do the same, so that we are protected against this virus, “Buhari said in a statement.

The vaccine offers hope for a safe country, free of Coronavirus.

Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo also received on Saturday, like Mr. Buhari, a dose during this vaccination organized at the presidential palace and broadcast on national television.

The day before, a doctor was the first Nigerian to be vaccinated in the West African country of 200 million people.

Nigeria received nearly 4 million doses of Covid-19 vaccine on Tuesday, funded by the COVAX device which aims to provide them to low-income countries.

This is the first batch of 16 million AstraZeneca / Oxford doses due to arrive in Nigeria in the coming months, where caregivers and professions at risk will be the first to be vaccinated.

Nigeria had 158,042 cases of Covid-19 on Saturday, including 1,954 deaths. But these results are considered undervalued, due to a low number of tests carried out in relation to the population.
