The government of India has donated 100,000 doses of  COVID-19 vaccines to Nigeria.

A consignment of 100,000 doses of Covishield vaccines, manufactured at the Serum Institute of India, was delivered to the National Primary Health Care Development Agency (NPHCDA), according to a statement from the Indian High Commission in Abuja.

The first lot of 3.92 million doses of COVID vaccine under COVAX had reached Nigeria on 2 March 2021.

The statement quoted the Indian High Commissioner to Nigeria, Abhay Thakur, as saying that the supply of vaccines to Nigeria was in keeping with Prime Minister Narendra Modiโ€™s commitment, made at the UNGA in September 2020, that โ€œIndiaโ€™s vaccine production and delivery capacity will be used to help humanity in fighting Covid19.โ€ (DailyTrust)
