Since the Federal Government made its intention to acquire and inoculate Nigerians with COVID-19 vaccine was made public, I have read several critical comments against the plan by some Nigerians opposing the move without proposing an alternative solution to the reality of the pandemic in our country.
Most of the opposing views are hinged on myths, conspiracy theories and blatant denial of the existence of the disease.
But one thing some of them failed to understand is the fact that the number of COVID-19 cases being recorded daily by the Nigeria Center for Disease Control (NCDC) is not just figures but fellow human beings with dreams, aspirations, visions and passion for both individual and collective successes.
