President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday said Nigeria is ready to become a global hub for sustainable manufacturing and distribution of vaccines and biological pharmaceuticals.
The ongoing effort of his administration towards achieving the target, he said, is to support initiatives towards keeping “all of mankind safe.”
Mr Buhari made this known while speaking at the first World Bio Summit, 2022 in Seoul, South Korea.
Nigeria was invited to the Summit based on her selection alongside five other African countries by WHO and the European Union (EU) during the last EU-African Summit in Brussels, Belgium in February for mRNA technology transfer and Global Training Hub for Bio-manufacturing of vaccines on the African continent.
Jointly organised by the Government of the Republic of Korea and the World Health Organisation (WHO), the two-day Summit scheduled to hold between 25 and 26 October, has the theme: ‘The Future of Vaccine and Bio-Health.’
