The private sector-led Coalition Against COVID-19 has disowned the move by the BUA Group to purchase one million doses of COVID-19 vaccine for Nigeria.
“During the CACOVID weekly call of February 8th, Governor Emefiele, relayed to the larger group a call that he held with Alhaji Aliko Dangote and Herbert Wigwe with Afreximbank President, Benedict Oramah, on Sunday February 7th. President Oramah briefed the 3 CACOVID leaders on the $2 billion facility the bank has set up with the African Union Vaccine taskforce to purchase vaccines for the African continent.
“The vaccines will be delivered to Nigeria and distributed through the National Primary Healthcare Development Agency. In a statement on Tuesday morning, BUA said it was aware that “a prominent member of CACOVID is not happy that BUA took the initiative to pay for the vaccines.”The statement reads, “BUA receives with utter shock, reports allegedly attributed to CACOVID, disowning its earlier payment through CACOVID for 1 million AstraZeneca doses for Nigeria via the AFREXIM vaccine platform.
“The Chairman of BUA also requested through the CBN governor that the naira equivalent be paid to the relevant account with CBN, and that CBN forward the dollar payment to Afrexim on CACOVID’s behalf. The group said its gesture was in good faith as it had done with its interventions throughout the pandemic.
