The Federal Government has commenced the enforcement of mandatory vaccination against COVID-19 at the Federal Secretariat in Abuja.
Security Personnel were seen as early as 7am on Wednesday at the entrance of the Federal Secretariat, demanding proof of COVID-19 vaccination or evidence of negative PCR test from civil servants before admission to the Secretariat.
Some of the unvaccinated civil servants, however, questioned the Federal Government’s decision, noting COVID-19 vaccination should not be made compulsory but a matter of choice.
Recall that the Presidential Steering Committee on COVID-19 had earlier given a directive mandating all Federal Civil Servants to be vaccinated or present evidence of negative PCR test for COVID-19, effective from December 1, 2021.
