Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu has charged world leaders to ensure equity in coronavirus vaccine distribution.
Sanwo-Olu, who spoke at the 2021 Global Citizen Live Concert held in Ikeja, frowned at the unequal distribution of vaccines in which richer nations secured more doses than the size of their populations.
He maintained that vaccine equity remained the only path to toe by world leaders to end the pandemic, stressing that the world must ensure that vaccines were available to all, especially poorer countries that had struggled with supply.
The Governor, however, disclosed that 405,000 residents had received first doses of AstraZeneca, while 289,000 persons returned for their second doses.
