The BUA Group on Tuesday insisted that it had acquired one million doses of AstraZeneca vaccine, saying a statement by the Coalition Against COVID-19 (CACOVID), disowning the acquisition was shocking.
CACOVID had denied BUA’s earlier claim on the purchase of vaccines for Nigerians, emphasising that no individual had the capacity to strike such a deal.
But the BUA Group faulted the CACOVID’s denial.
It explained that at the CACOVID steering committee meeting on February 8, 2021, members were informed by the CBN that CACOVID had been given the opportunity through the Afrexim platform to access and pay for one million doses.
