Covid vaccines: Stakeholders urge FG, Chinese collaboration for local production

Stakeholders and experts rose from a one-day workshop in Abuja with a call on the Federal Government to partner with Chinese government to open COVID-19 vaccines production company in Nigeria in order boost local production.

They also agreed that this step, if taken will help in halting the spread of the deadly virus currently ravaging the country and other parts of the world.

The experts noted that in the interim, the government should approach the Chinese government on vaccines production and distribution, so as to bring more choices of safe vaccines for Nigerians.

According to the communiqué issued at the end of a workshop organized by Diplomats Extra Magazine and endorsed by the Nigerian Union of Journalists, NUJ, tagged: ‘’COVID-19 Vaccines on Ensuring Fair and Equitable Distribution’’, the experts further emphasized the need for local production of COVID-19 vaccines.

The communiqués signed by Mr Raphael Oni on behalf of the Communiqué Drafting Committee, demanded that severe sanctions should await inbound travelers and passengers from high-risk countries who flout COVID-19 protocol on isolation.

This is even as the meeting also deliberated on a number of issues including the need to ensure fair and equitable distribution of COVID-19 vaccines, tapping into Chinese Belt and Road Initiatives amidst COVID-19, and the need for the World Health Organization (WHO) to approve and make more vaccines available for all.

  1. Thanks for the interesting things you have revealed in your text. One thing I want to comment on is that FSBO connections are built eventually. By introducing yourself to the owners the first few days their FSBO will be announced, prior to the masses start calling on Monday, you build a good link. By mailing them equipment, educational components, free accounts, and forms, you become an ally. Through a personal curiosity about them and their scenario, you build a solid network that, many times, pays off as soon as the owners decide to go with a broker they know and trust – preferably you actually.
