Ayuba Wabba, president of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has urged the federal government to persuade civil servants to take the COVID-19 vaccine, rather than force them.

The Federal Government, had on October 13, announced that starting from December 1, civil servants who do not show proof of vaccination will be barred from government offices.

Speaking on the development on Monday during a COVID-19 vaccination advisory for federal civil servants in Abuja, Wabba said: “I understand some people prefer to view COVID-19 vaccination with caution. Yes, it is important to proceed on issues of public health with great caution,”

“Yet, it would be foolhardy to elevate caution above scientific evidence and facts from public health records.

“The truth is that despite being imperfect, the COVID-19 vaccine has given all of us a better chance of fighting the virus and staying alive.

“I urge workers all over the world to take advantage of the COVID-19 vaccines and keep themselves, their families and their colleagues at work safe and free from the morbid threats of the corona pandemic.

“We urge the government and other employers of labour to make special arrangements for workers to access the vaccine at the workplace.
