The Nigeria Solidarity Support Fund (NSSF) has donated N300 million to the National Primary Health Care Development Agency (NPHCDA) as part of its strategic support for the COVID-19 vaccination program in Nigeria.
This is to increase equity and access to COVID-19 vaccination among vulnerable Nigerians in Adamawa, Edo, Imo, Katsina, Nasarawa, and Ogun states, according to the fund.
The funds will be used to support the COVID-19 advocacy campaign in Nigeria’s six states and six geopolitical zones.
