Meanwhile, the presidential task force (PTF) on COVID-19 has called on Nigerians not to take the declining figures on the daily case count for granted, as prevention is still the best option since there’s no globally certified vaccine yet.


Speaking at a media briefing on Monday, Boss Mustapha, secretary to the government of the federation (SGF) and chairman of the PTF, said an approved vaccine may not be available till 2021.

















“What the world still awaits is the arrival of an effective vaccine. The presidential task force updated you last week about the progress made with the candidate vaccines and the phases of the trials. We also assured you that Nigeria would not be left out when eventually access is needed for a safe and effective vaccine certified by global public health authorities,” he said.

“Given this timeline, however, we do not expect vaccines to be available for countries probably till the second half of 2021.
