Dear Active Citizen,

The wait to be vaccinated against the coronavirus in Nigeria is finally over!

Nigeria received a total of

3.92 million doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine on Tuesday, March 2, 2021.

The National Primary Health Care Development Agency (NPHCDA) has launched an

dedicated to providing information about the guidelines for vaccination and pre-registration. Those who wish to register can visit the portal.

The roll-out of the vaccine commenced today with our critical healthcare workers, who are on the frontline in providing the care we all need.

This is great news!

The agonizing wait for parents of abducted #JangebeGirls has come to an end!

Gunmen

abducted the girls from the Government Girls Junior Secondary School in Jangebe town on Friday, February 26th

in the latest in a series of mass kidnappings of students in Nigeria. Although local authorities initially said that 317 girls were abducted, the number came down to 276 as some girls were found to have eluded capture by fleeing the school.

Next month will be 7 years since the hashtag #BringBackOurGirls rocked the world.

While

112 #ChibokGirls are still missing,

it is obvious that the last three student abductions have been handled with more seriousness by the government.

Do you desire a life-changing opportunity as a finance person? Do you want to work with an internationally recognized organization while at it? Say no more.
