Sanwo-Olu, who spoke at the Global Citizen Live event held yesterday in celebration of healthcare workers who are at the frontline of the coronavirus pandemic, also restated the state’s commitment to prioritising vaccine equity among its entire population.
A-list Nigerian artistes including Femi Kuti, Davido, Tiwa Savage, Made Kuti and Seun Kuti all performed at the Lagos show hosted by TV personalities, Ebuka Obi-Uchendu and Nancy Isime. “Nigeria has only administered about 4,171,989 doses of both AstraZeneca and Moderna vaccines.
