Take COVID-19 vaccine, minister appeals to Nigerians

Minister of State for Health, Dr. Olurunnimbe Mamora, has appealed to Nigerians to take the COVID-19 vaccines for the overall health of the country. He made the plea while unveiling KilRox range of alcohol disinfectant wipes of Saftermobo Nigeria Limited at Transcorp Hilton, Abuja, on Wednesday.

Dr. Momora said the product came out at the right time – at a time it would boost hygiene and COVID-10 protocols. He disabused the minds of people about the AstraZeneca vaccine, describing it as the best among all the COVID-19 vaccines in the market. He urged Nigerians to take the vaccine for their health and the health of the entire country.

Reacting to the earlier remark by the Chief Executive Officer of Saftermobo Nigeria Limited, Chief Nnamdi Nwokike, who introduced Mr. Peter Obi as the best Governor Anambra ever produced, Dr. Mamora disagreed with him. Momora said that in classifying Obi as the best Governor, people should go beyond Anambra State. His words: “He was not the best because he was Governor of your state, but because he remained the most prudent governor ever. When I was in the Senate, I met him at the airport or travelled in the same plane with him severally. One thing that distinguished him from others of his status is prudence in all he does: travelling economy even as the governor, carrying his own bag and travelling with minimum aides – one or two.”

Speaking, the Chairman of the Company, Sen. Ben Obi, thanked everybody that came and promised that quality shall remain the watchword of the company.

In his own remarks, Mr. Peter Obi said he was happy being part of the event, seeing Nigerians making honest efforts thereby contributing to the growth of the economy of the country.

The event was attended by the Chairman, Senate Committee of Health, Sen. Yahaya Ibrahim; the Health Committee Chairman of the House of Representatives, Hon. Dr. Paschal Obi; former Minister of Health, Prof. ABC Nwosu; former Minister of Foreign Affairs, Chief Tom Ikimi; former Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Chief Dubem Onyia; former Governor of Edo State, Chief Lucky Igbinedion; among many others.
