Ogun State has been rated the top performing state in the ongoing mass vaccination campaign against Covid-19, a report by the National Primary Healthcare Development Agency ( NPHDA) has indicated.

Coming after Ogun in performance rating included Zamfara, Oyo, Osun and Ekiti states respectively. 

This was disclosed by the NPHDB in its recent  rating of top five performing states and governors on Tuesday.

The Abiodun administration had since embarked on aggressive vaccination of residents in various places across the states, including markets, motor Paris, tertiary institutions, among others. 

The  Chief Press Secretary to the Governor,Mr. Kunle Somorin, in a release, said that the National Primary Healthcare Development Agency's rating is a proof of the  creative approach which the Abiodun administration has brought to the table in ensuring the wellbeing of all Ogun residents.

He, therefore, urged residents who are still unvaccinated to go out en-masse to take advantage of the ongoing mass vaccination campaign without delay, assuring that the government has put all measures in place for ensure a seamless exercise.
