Nigeria urges vaccine to be available to all
23/9/2020 11:59
The president of Africa's most populous country, Nigeria, is calling for the "uninhibited supply of safe and effective coronavirus vaccines for all."
African nations have been outspoken in seeking the equitable distribution of any COVID-19 vaccine, while watching anxiously as some of the world's richest countries strike deals with pharmaceutical companies to secure millions of doses of potential vaccines.
President Muhammadu Buhari warns that if the United Nations can't marshal an inclusive response to the pandemic, then it "would have failed in its core mission of giving expression, direction and solution to the yearnings of the international community."
