THE Federal Government on Wednesday commenced enforcement of the COVID-19 vaccine mandate with security agencies preventing unvaccinated civil servants from entering their offices at the Federal Secretariat, Abuja.
Officers of the Nigerian Police Force and Nigeria Security and Civil Defence (NSCDC) were deployed to enforce compliance at the Head of Civil Service of Federation Wing of the Federal Secretariat.
The workers and general public who failed to provide proof of vaccination or negative Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) at the entrance gate to the Head of Service building were turned back with many of civil servants accusing the Government of discriminatory enforcement of compulsory vaccination.
Ahead of the directive by the Federal Government that officers in the public service on Grade Level 12 and below to resume duties on Wednesday, 19 December 2021, the Presidential Steering Committee on COVID-19 had insisted that civil servants without proof of vaccination and negative PCR tests would not be allowed to access government buildings from December 1, 2021.
