President Buhari pleaded with the Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA) to assist in the mobilisation for vaccination.
A source, who spoke in confidence, said: “At the meeting, the President assured us that he will ensure that the COVID-19 vaccines being brought will not endanger any Nigerian.
“He said the pandemic is global and he attaches importance to the health and safety of Nigetians.
“He asked NSCIA to assist in mobilizing Muslims and other Nigerians to be part of the vaccination which will soon begin.
“Although neither the Sultan nor any member of the NSCIA is opposed to COVID-19 vaccines, there has been anxiety over the vaccines in view of the Pfizer experiment in Kano State in the past.”
