The FG said by December 1, 2021, all civil servants will no longer have access to their workplaces if they have not received the vaccine against the disease. This decision was made known by the chairman of the Presidential Steering Committee on COVID-19, Boss Mustapha. Mustapha urged all Nigerians to make good use of the ongoing vaccination campaign to ensure they are fully vaccinated against the deadly disease. Also, the Nigerian government has warned against the buying and selling of fake COVID-19 vaccination cards by some individuals. The government said it is aware that some people are purchasing COVID-19 vaccination cards from some health workers even without receiving the vaccine currently being administered across the country. Further speaking on the fraudulent activities by these individuals, the executive director of the National Primary Health Care Development Agency, Faisal Shuaib, said the agency is working with the DSS and other security organisations to curb the criminality.
