By Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Boss Mustapha, has urged Nigerians to disregard conspiracy theories about the COVID-19 vaccines.
The SGF spoke during the inauguration of the State House Clinic COVID-19 isolation centre, on Tuesday.
According to Mustapha, who is the Chairman of the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19, the COVID-19 vaccines are safe, effective and beneficial, adding that the federal government will continue to encourage Nigerians to get vaccinated when the time comes.
He said, “We will appeal and explain to our people that if you do not take the vaccine, the danger of falling terribly sick and eventually dying is there.
“We will be blunt to them that if you don’t take the COVID-19 vaccine, you may not be able to go anywhere in the world, very soon. Even when you want to go and perform your spiritual obligation, that will be subjected to your COVID-19 status.
“I don’t believe anyone will spend billions of dollars in manufacturing vaccines in order to kill us in Africa.
“From just two molecular laboratories for the testing of COVID-19 in Nigeria, we now have over 100 molecular laboratories, public and private, across the 36 States of the federation.”
