The Federal Government has informed federal civil servants that they either get the COVID-19 vaccine or present a negative test result.

“Following advice by public health experts, the PSC announced that all Federal Government employees should make a choice as to how they can contribute towards making the work environment COVID-19-free. The logical choice is between taking the vaccine and showing the evidence or presenting proof that one is COVID-19-free by showing a negative PCR test taken 72 hours prior.

“This provision is applicable to all Federal Government institutions. The decision to release the advisory was not taken lightly. It is part of the PSC and Federal Ministry of Health’s mantra to always use scientific evidence to make decisions for the benefit of all Nigerians.” Shuaib also confirmed that there are enough vaccines to cover the population of employees of the Federal Government and more, stating that the PSC had already done a comprehensive analysis and forecast on the availability of COVID-19 vaccines.

“Based on delivery forecasts from the COVAX facility and African Union, Nigeria will have adequate vaccines to cover more that 50 per cent of eligible populations by the end of the first quarter of 2022. In order words, please do not worry about the availability of vaccines because we have the supply chain figured out already,” he added.

No surprises here; typical of this demonic administration. Do you have enough vaccines locally before imposing mandates abi is it not the free things they're sharing to us? Kolomental pipu

The ruling class of Nigeria gets their policy from abroad. This is evidence that Indirect rule is still in effect. Policies that work in the West may not fit the reality within Nigeria but these misleaders aren’t thinking!
