President Buhari Calls For Equitable Distribution Of COVID-19

President Muhammadu Buhari has urged world leaders and global health institutions to follow a regime of enabling access to the COVID-19 vaccines.

Buhari noted that side-lining countries in terms of reach will undermine the entire effort for safety.

He spoke while delivering a keynote address at the Paris peace forum.

The president who said export restrictions that encourage needless hoarding of vaccines must be lifted welcomed the pledges by industrialized countries to share vaccines.

The president said the pledges should be fulfilled in a timely manner, appreciating some countries, like France, that have donated vaccines to developing countries.
