COVID-19: FG frustrating ABUAD’s efforts to develop vaccine – Afe Babalola
Afe Babalola, owner of the Afe Babalola University has accused the Federal Government of frustrating efforts of his institution in developing the COVID-19 vaccine.
He made this accusation while speaking on Monday during Abuad’s 8th convocation ceremonies in Ado Ekiti.
Babalola knocked the Nigerian government for querying the institution while seeking approval to provide the vaccine.
“After working day and night for many months, applications were made to appropriate government agencies. When asked for accelerated action, we were rebuffed and they queried us on why we were in a hurry and added that after all, it takes four years in America to get such an approval, he said
He expressed that the virus has exposed the decay in the health and educational sectors of the nation.
Babalola said it is shameful for Nigeria that India has stepped up the ladder to become a donor of vaccines to Nigeria while Nigeria is dealing with ancient matters of cattle grazing.
this administration only cares about themselves and there own pocket…..
🤣 🤣 Nigeria na country?
Don’t be surprised my lawyer, that is why nothing is working in this country
The main problem is corruption because if we are able to produce the vaccine it will be lesser than that of imported one and no money will be siphoned
Shame on our leaders, tomorrow will not forgive them
That’s is the main reason why people are traveling out of this country because of frustration, now look at what happened
