He noted that some countries have started placing restrictions
on receiving visitors on the basis of COVID-19 vaccination
certificate.
“Vaccine hesitancy will have to give way to the reality because
the truth about it, your excellency, is that very soon, nobody will
be able to travel the world unless you produce the certificate that
you have been given,” he said.
“I have not confirmed this but reliably, some countries have
started putting restrictions for receiving visitors, even for
exercising activities of their faith, without a COVID-19
vaccination certificate.”
Recently, Saudi Arabia’s health ministry said only people who
have been vaccinated against COVID-19 will be allowed to attend the
2021 Hajj.
Speaking further, he urged Nigerians not to listen to conspiracy
theories and misinformation on vaccines and make themselves
available when it is their turn to do so.
“They (vaccines) have been tested. Our strategic leaders have
received them this morning. They are safe. They are efficacious and
it is for the good and wellbeing of our people,” he said.
“I urge Nigerians to make themselves available, not to listen to
conspiracy theories and misinformation but to make themselves
available, eligible Nigerians when it is their time to do so.”
Mustapha commended Buhari for always approving the proposals and
memos sent to him by the PTF in the fight against the pandemic.
On Friday, Nigeria commenced its COVID-19 vaccination with
frontline health workers in Abuja
