After a long, doubt-laden wait, hope became reality on
Tuesday when Nigeria received its first batch of COVID-19 vaccine.
So it was no surprise that the red carpet was rolled out for
the much-anticipated arrival — figuratively speaking.
But on a non-figurative note, an actual reception ceremony
was organised by the presidential task force on COVID-19 (PTF) for the arrival
of the vaccine.
If dignitaries, VIPs and some government officials can enjoy reception ceremonies, why not the vaccine doses that may yet save our lives.
The arrival not only merited a ceremony, but also the
presence of the ‘big guns’ overseeing Nigeria’s COVID-19 response.
Courtesy of a post on Twitter, Faisal Shuaib, chairman of
National Primary Health Care Development Agency (NPHCDA); Osagie Ehanire,
minister of health; and Chikwe Iheakwazu, director-general of the Nigeria
Center for Disease Control (NCDC), were spotted in attendance.
