Coronabirus:
Mr. Obi as a former governor with knowledge of administration made a fatal mistake by being so ignorant with poor knowledge of the whole process just to get public applaud. Though Nigerian govt is known for over bloating of contract but the process involved in the procurement, distribution, capacity building training, storage of the vaccine and expenses of the process is much more than the N150b Obi claimed can do.

BreconHills:
The covid vaccine syringe is quite different from the normal syringe and its handling and subsequent disposal is also more precise than putting it in a hospital dustbin. The allocation of batch number to a patient yo enable them obtain access to international travel is also quite intricate. If we struggle over simple NIN and BVN then managing the vaccine project will be like an ant swallowing an elephant. Many challenges. If not for the Nigerian can do spirit, I would write this off as a predetermined failure.

Having said that, there is no doubt that the cost is heavily padded. Peter Obi is right in saying that but his argument was rather lightweight. Every Nigerian politician knows how padding works since they have all used it in the past.

At the end of the day, knowing Nigeria the vaccination process will be a great success and other countries will come and understudy us. We are masters of " one shot" success - We just don't want to systemize it.

Vaccine Procurement: Stop Advertising Your Ignorance Over What You Don't Understand - APC Slams Peter Obi

The attention of APC Mandate Defenders has been drawn to the uninformed remarks made by the former governor of Anambra State, Mr. Peter Obi concerning the Federal Government's plan to procure vaccines for distribution across the country.

The group asserted that Mr. Obi has formed the habit of making himself a cheap hero through peddling of falsehoods, outright misinformation and blame game even when he is alleged to have some skeletons in his cupboards.

In a statement released to journalists in Abuja on Tuesday by the group's national publicity secretary, Mr. Ifeanyi Emeka, the group said that Mr. Obi is not the right person to advise the Federal Governemnt over what to do concerning vaccine procurements and distribution because as Governor for eight years, he contributed to the sorrowful state of the primary healthcare centres in Anambra State as a result of his unconstitutional refusal to conduct Local Government Elections throughout his tenure.

"Saying, if Mr. Obi had conducted local government elections and allowed elected council chairmen to use their Federal Allocations for developments, all the primary healthcare centres in the 21 Local Government Areas of his state which are in the 'residual list' of the Constitution and whose workers have the immediate responsibility of distributing vaccines to the people at the grassroots level; the cost of vaccine procurements and distribution would have been reduced to the bearest minimum."

But because Mr. Obi and others in his category failed to do the needful, the task of vaccine procurement, distribution and development of critical infrastructures at the local government levels now falls on the neck of the National Primary Health Care Development Agency which is under the control of the Federal Government.

So, the Federal Government is not only fighting to procure vaccines and inoculate the population, but it is also fighting to procure cold chains, train personnel and other things that falls under the purview of states and local governments in the country.

Besides, vaccine procurement is not really the issue, but distribution and storage as well as building capacity are the things that matters.

For Instance, apart from Pfizer vaccines which requires altra-modern cold chains of minus 70-80 degree Celsius which is even colder than the winter, the Federal Government will still use some part of the estimated N400 billion for the procurement and deployment of cold chains to about 8,812 Wards in the 774 Local Government Areas across the country where the vaccines would be stored before distribution. This is because only few of the over 10, 000 Primary Health Care Centers in the country have functional cold chains and other facilities.

So, next time, before Mr. Obi goes to any national television to advertise his ignorance on any government plan in his characteristic way of playing to the gallery and seeking cheap popularity among unsuspecting members of the public, he should endevour to consider many factors which his inability to correct some of them when he was in office contributed to the sorrowful state of the primary healthcare centres across the country.

Cold chains kee una dia..
Different high sounding names to confuse the gullible..
The man is right! Who is going to every ward with "cold chains"? At most every local government with health officials transporting themselves to vaccination centers. Almost 1 billion dollars to vaccinate Nigerians! And the number may still increase!

Golan007:
They think we don't know vaccines can be stored in ordinary Indomie Noodles cartons and conveyed to its eventual destination.

Please tell them.

Keep quiet lazy youth.
Vaccines are stored in an extremely cold environment/ freezer. From transport down to the final stage of usage. You render a vaccine useless immediately it does not meet the required storage facility

pquaver:
Keep your illiteracy down bro.. Training are for a reason.. You do not learn new things outside what you been taught in the school but as a means to refresh... It not everyday you deal with certain diseases.. Training are to refresh and keep people updated and upto. Standard... Here we say : Übung macht den Meister. (Practice makes perfect). Please don't parade ignorance arrogantly.. Sometimes chill and ask questions and then research on the answers..

Rugaria:
Fulani herdsman,
Listen!
There are other variants of the vaccines that don't need to be put in below freezing temperatures to be preserved! The Russian vaccine is even far more effective than Pfizers, with almost 92% effectiveness! It mustn't be from only one source! The Chinese vaccine is available too! Less expensive to preserve and very effective...
We are talking technologies here not kidnapping, young man..

Nigerianization:
Please explain the kind of capacity building needed for a certified medical official to 'SHOOK PERSON TWO DOSAGE OF INJECTIONS.'

Afamed:
What do you actually know about vaccine storage?

Afamed:
Do I need to bother myself with a confirmed confused wailing children like una that had early said nothing like Covid 19?

hush15:
As someone who has dispensed one before, I know enough. As someone who have friends and family in the front line, I know enough to understand that we don't have to rob our nation on the lie that we procuring vaccines and the value chain that comes with it. Does that answer your question.
