The World Bank has stated that it has spent over $4bn financing to curtail the COVID-19 pandemic in Ghana, Benin and 49 other countries.The World Bank listed 51 countries that had benefitted from the N4bn funding without Nigeria on the list.

The press statement read, “The World Bank announced today that it is providing over $4bn for the purchase and deployment of COVID-19 vaccines for 51 developing countries, half of which are in Africa. “This financing is part of the bank’s commitment to help low and middle-income countries acquire and distribute vaccines and strengthen their health systems.”A source at the World Bank, who spoke on why Nigeria was not included in the list of developing countries that had benefited from the over $4bn COVID-19 financing by the World Bank, said there were certain COVID-19 financing schemes going on in Nigeria, and as soon as such schemes were finalised, an announcement would be made.

“It asked those countries anticipating excess vaccine supplies in the coming months to release their surplus doses and options as soon as possible, in a transparent manner, to developing countries with adequate distribution plans in place.”
