Gavi to commit $500m to Nigeria’s vaccination programmes over five years

Sania Nishtar, the chief executive officer (CEO) of the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunisation (Gavi), says the organisation will commit more than $500 million over the next five years to support vaccination programmes in Nigeria.

Speaking on Friday during a visit to President Bola Tinubu at the Presidential Villa in Abuja, Nishtar said despite declining global development assistance, the organisation would maintain its support for Nigeria.

Nishtar said the new funding would help vaccinate an entire generation of children, adding that Gavi had invested $2.4 billion in Nigeria over the past two decades.
