A national conference on COVID-19 is being held in Abuja by the Presidential Steering Committee.
The summit, themed “Pushing Through the Final Mile to End the Pandemic and Rebuild Better,” focuses on learning from COVID-19’s experiences to better prepare for future health problems. Discussions are also likely to focus on how to scale up current pandemic responses, including continued mass vaccination, surveillance, and screening at multiple entry points.
The Senate president, Ahmed Lawan, is in attendance, as are other federal MPs, the SGF, the Minister of Health, and members of the diplomatic community.
