The Federal Government has taken delivery of samples of Russia’s COVID-19 vaccine from Russia’s Ambassador to Nigeria, Alex Shebarshin, on Friday, September 4, 2020.
The vaccine was received on Nigeria’s behalf by the Minister for Health, Osagie Ehanire, from the Russian Ambassador.
According to a monitored media report, the Director of Information, Media and Public Relations of the Ministry of Health, Olujimi Oyetomi, in a statement disclosed that the Russian envoy made the delivery during a courtesy visit to the ministry in Abuja.
The statement pointed out that Ehanire quickly referred the vaccine to the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) and the Nigeria Institute of Pharmaceutical Research and Development and others for review and possible validation.
The minister said, ‘’We are exploring all knowledge in terms of therapeutics and vaccines. We are expressing our interest in the Covid-19 vaccine so that we will have the opportunity to work elaborately.’’
Ehanire explained that Nigeria has been taking part in a series of knowledge exchange and contact with several research bodies and nations in a bid to combat the Covid-19 pandemic.
In his own remark, the Executive Director of the National Primary Health Care Development Agency, Dr Faisal Shuaib, stated that this opportunity will help to strengthen the collaboration between Russia and Nigeria.
The Ministry’s Director of Hospital Services Department, Dr Adepimpe Adebiyi, said that this is an opportunity to expand our vaccine production. He said the technical officers will interphase with the Russian team in order to strengthen the relationship between Nigeria and Russia.
Thank you very much for Russia’s help. This action has also strengthened the relationship between the two countries. Under the current trend of the COVID-19 pandemic, vaccines can indeed inhibit the development of COVID-19. In the future, we can also expand vaccine production opportunities to help countries in serious situations such as India and the United States.

The case has drastically reduced in Russia. I hope it cures this monster virus

So Nigerian System will help USA and India by making vaccine from them (Russian formula)??

In which Fantasy world you people live? USA and India will need Nigerian assistance in healthcare? lol

Well, India produces 70% of vaccines manufactured in entire world and alone has been biggest supplier of it to Ameriacs, Africa & Europe for a decade.

India already has requests from Oxford and Russia for vaccine trials and production and Russian vaccine as already been REJECTED for its side effects.

For the sake of research, India is also developing 35 vaccines for corona, 3 of them already in final human trials. India is also working on a harmless virus which spreads like corona and spreads vaccination to everyone like COVID spread. So that we don't need to inject anyone.

Russia has reduced and nearly stopped testing. Do you know it? Most countries have surrendered to corona.

Only US & India are testing a million people everyday and want to test 50% of their populations.

why do india and usa need to do millions of tests ? because hundreds of million are suspects of carriers.

i can see indian are always excited and proud whenever they see their name mentioned with usa , china and japan (even in some nasty rankings )
