“Once these vaccines are made equitably available to all Nigerians, then we will need to have a frank discussion about justice, fairness and liberty that exist around vaccine hesitancy. If some individuals refuse to take the vaccine, hence endangering those who have or those who could not due to medical exemptions, then we have to apply the basic rule of law, which stipulates that your human right stops where mine begins.
He added, “I know that in Enugu State, we encourage people to take vaccine but rest assured that in encouraging people to take vaccine, Enugu is a state that is guided by the law. We are going to respect the fundamental rights of everybody as enshrined in the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
In Cross River State, the Commissioner for Health, Dr Betta Edu, said residents were already taking the vaccine, thus there would be no need to force them to take it. Coker said, “Ogun State has experienced cooperation from residents who have engaged the vaccination campaign wholeheartedly. We are vaccinating over 7,000 individuals daily, so the situation in Ogun State does not require such restrictions.
Also, in Bauchi State, the Executive Chairman of the state Primary Health Care Development Agency, Dr Rilwan Mohammed, said the state had no plan to restrict people that had not been vaccinated from public facilities.
Bill. Of. Rights.
NIGERIA should not be a country to test run the genetic vaccines. Citizens life are at risk with this compulsory covid 19 vacine
Do govt have the right to forces vaccinate people? Isn’t force vaccination a breach of human rights. Last time I check despite the catalogue of mal targeted vaccination in Africa I’ve our govt analyse what’s in the 💉. What kind n type are dey giving people
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.
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!
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.
