Six states oppose FG’s compulsory COVID-19 vaccination planAmid Federal Government’s concern over many Nigerians’ reluctance to take the Covid-19 vaccine and its plan to impose sanctions on those who refuse the vaccine when it is made available to all. The states, including Enugu, Taraba, Cross River, Ogun, Bauchi and Abia, said they would keep appealing to their residents to take the vaccine instead of adopting strict measures to compel them. When countries dey talk, Naija sef dey talk. A country that doesn’t know how many citizens it has wants to enforce mandatory vaccinations. Abeg let’s hear word! Kudos to the State Governments for their current stance on mandatory Covid-19 vaccination plan for Nigerians by the careless FG. Unlike the super useless State Governor that's forcing public workers and other people to take the jab by fire, by thunder. Medical terrorism is evil.
