Project narrative

On July 23, 2021, the Chinese Government donated 470,000 COVID-19 vaccine doses to the Government of Nigeria. The Chinese Ambassador to Nigeria, Cui Jianchun, made the donation to the Nigerian Minister of Health, Dr. Osagie Ehanire, in Abuja, Nigeria. The donation came after the Government of Nigeria had to stop administering vaccines on July 8, 2021 due to a lack of vaccine supply

As such, AidData has estimated the monetary value of the July 2021 donation as $8.46 million.
