Reverse the FG Vaccine Mandate in Nigeria For Civil Servants
The Issue
On the 13th of October, the Government of the Federation (SGF), Boss Mustapha, announced at a briefing in Abuja that “With effect from 1st December 2021, Federal Government employees shall be required to show proof of COVID-19 vaccination, or present a negative COVID-19 PCR test result done within 72 hours to gain access to their offices in all locations within Nigeria and our Missions"
This is unconscionable and a direct violation of Human Rights in Nigeria. Everyone has a right to choose, live and interact freely without prejudice and should not be forced by a vaccine mandate. Adverse effects have been reported for these vaccines all over the world and almost every day, there are new adverse reactions reported.
We the people must rise and protect our liberty by resisting this move by the Federal Government of Nigeria to enforce vaccine mandates for all civil servants. All over the world, courts are throwing our vaccine mandates, and the Government must take cue from the growing global reject of vaccine mandates. We cannot allow this, especially with the current state of Covid 19 in Nigeria.
It is equally a sneaky devilish strategy to request bi-weekly PCR tests from staff before entry of office. According to current data and experts, the PCR tests cannot be the gold standard for detecting Covid19, as the rate of false positives are extremely high. This information is publicly available and it is worrisome that Nigeria chooses to hinge the livelihood of her civil servants on this. Also, considering the financial implication of frequent testing, it is practically and financially impossible for many to afford bi-weekly PCR tests as the minimum wage in the country cannot successfully pay for a PCR Test.
With less than 13,000 active cases of Covid-19 in Nigeria (208,000 cases with 195,000 recovered) since February 2020 when the index case of Covid-19 was registered in the country, it is safe to state that Covid-19 does not present itself as the greatest threat to public health; especially with just 2,700+ deaths in Nigeria.
