I am in my mid-60s and was rather apprehensive when my friends who are younger and healthier than me were getting their vaccines and showing off their vaccination status.
These people are there all through the day to ensure that everything goes smoothly.
Rather than imposing vaccine passports, the African delegation recommended that states party to the Convention on international civil aviation should continue to minimise the risks during travel by ensuring compliance with existing multinational treaties, international frameworks, guidelines, and recommendations.
Within minutes, after all the registration and paper work, I was ushered into a makeshift cubicle for my vaccination.
From Uche Usim , Abuja and Chinelo Obogo African Aviation Ministers have unanimously rejected the planned imposition of the vaccine passport rule on air travelers, describing the proposal as discriminatory, anti-Africa and an insult to the Chicago Convention.
I have only bouquets for the volunteers, frontliners and health personnel who were there, for a job well done.
