The Nigeria Governors Forum (NGF) has scheduled an emergency virtual meeting on Thursday 4th March 2021.

According to the invite content to respective governors, the meeting has a single-item agenda which focuses on the delivery of the Covid-19 vaccines and their distribution in the country.

It would be recalled that Nigeria received its first batch of COVID-19 vaccines, becoming the third country in Africa to get the shots through COVAX, a global scheme formed to ensure fair access to inoculations for low- and middle-income states.

A flight carrying 3.94 million doses of the vaccine developed by the University of Oxford and drugmaker AstraZeneca arrived shortly before noon on Tuesday at Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in the capital, Abuja.

The NGF meeting is scheduled to commence at 5pm according to the invite to governors issued Wednesday evening by the Director General of the Forum Mr Asishana B Okauru.

The Governors are expected to begin to join the meeting at 4pm.
