Vaccine Production: FG Approves Process To Set Up Plant In Ogun
Nigeria's Federal Executive Council (FEC) has approved the process to set up a vaccine production plant in Ota, Ogun State.
The Minister of Health, Dr Osagie Ehanire made the revelation on Wednesday while speaking to State House Correspondents at the end of Wednesday's meeting of the council presided over by President Muhammadu Buhari.
The council considered a memorandum from the Ministry of Health today, which has to do with the first stage in indigenizing vaccine production in Nigeria, the standard programme on immunization, not COVID-19 vaccine.
As you know, the government has a joint venture agreement and formed the company called Bio Vaccine Nigeria Limited, which is to start producing vaccines domestically. Now, they are sourcing for international partners, who will join them and give them the technology transfer that they require.
