Ogun State Governor, Dapo Abiodun, has taken a jab of AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine.
The governor made this known via his official Twitter handle on Tuesday.

“Taking our doses is, first, service to self then to people, because we can only silence the virus if we think and act together. We should be aware that even our two doses don’t preclude the use of facemasks and compliance with other safety guidelines.
“I urge us all to make ourselves available to take our doses, especially those prioritised by the NPHCDA on basis of profession, age or other criteria,” the governor tweeted.
Abiodun had earlier announced that Ogun State is the first state in Nigeria to receive a consignment of the vaccines.
According to the governor, 50,000 doses of the vaccines were received by the state with another batch of the same amount expected to arrive in the state by Tuesday.
