the Federal government has commenced the construction of vaccine hubs in Abuja, Lagos, and Kano states for the storage of vaccines in the country.

The government said the hubs will help to expand vaccine storage capacity at the national level in Nigeria.

Speaking at the groundbreaking ceremony of the Abuja hub, the minister of health, Dr Osagie Ehanire said Nigeria needs sufficient storage space for vaccines and injection materials for efficient implementation of immunization programmes.

Ehanire added that, the supply chain challenges, highlighted by the covid-19 vaccination effort also underline the need for massive expansion of storage space which will confer a measure of resilience in the system.
