<p>The Kogi State Primary Health Care Development Agency (KSPHCDA) has denied the reports of alleged demand for money from clients by COVID-19 administrators for vaccine.</p><div class="Oo9dpcSK" style="clear:both;float:left;width:100%;margin:0 0 20px 0;"><script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>

<p>An NGO, the Centre for Information Technology and Development (CITAD) at a news conference in Bauchi State, alleged that vaccine administrators in Kogi were allegedly demanded money from clients before vaccinating them.</p>
<p>A statement by the Executive Director of the agency, Dr Abubakar Yakubu, in Lokoja, said the report was misleading and far from the reality of COVID-19 vaccination in the state.</p>

<p>He stressed that the report was most likely not true as the NGO failed to back up its findings with actual facts, and without using, appropriate channels.</p>

<p>The KSPHCDA boss added that the said discovery should have been addressed to the appropriate agency in the state, rather than addressing newsmen in Bauchi.</p>
<p>Yakubu added that the agency had been engaging in high level social sensitisation and mobilisation advocacy across communities in the state, in order to improve on the vaccination exercise.</p>
<p>”How can something we are practically persuading people to take now be the same thing we are demanding for money before administering?,” Yakubu queried.</p>
<p>He emphasised that the agency was closely monitoring activities of the administrators and how they persuaded people across the state to take the COVID-19 vaccine.</p>
<p>He maintained that the claim by the NGO was practically impossible to happen in Kogi, where the Agency and the State Ministry of Health were still doing a high level advocacy and community sensitisation alongside relevant NGOs for COVID-19 vaccine uptake.</p>
<p>”The state government completely reject the report and thereby demand for an immediate and unreserved apology from the publisher of the fake news as well as its generator, CITAD.</p>
<p>“Failure to tender the apology, the government will be forced to take punitive measures against the NGO and its collaborators,” he said.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, Yakubu explained that the agency had set up a team of investigators, who were painstakingly analysing the report, in order to expose the perpetrators as well as the motive behind their action.</p>
<p>Speaking with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), Mr Folayan Idowu, the State Coordinator National Primary Health Care Development Agency (NPHCDA) described the publication, as unfounded.</p>
<p>Idowu, who is also a member of the State Joint Task Force on COVID-19 Vaccination, said the task force had been embarking on weekly patrol to monitor the administration of COVID-19 vaccines across the state.</p>
<p>He added that there was no record of such incident. (NAN)</p>
