Ruth Kadiri, popular Nollywood actress and producer, has drawn the attention of the federal government to what she described as the “lack of vaccination in hospitals”.

Immunization is a process by which a person becomes protected against a disease through vaccination. Vaccination, on the other hand, is the administration of a biological preparation to help the immune system develop immunity from a disease.

Kadiri, in an Instagram post on Tuesday, said she took her daughter to a hospital for a Cholera vaccine and MMR Varicella Immunization but was informed they had no vaccines to give.

The mother of two lamented that her daughter had not been vaccinated for over a year.

The film star called on nursing mothers to speak out if they face similar challenges.

The actress also pleaded with the federal government to take urgent action to tackle the issue.

“My nurse just informed me that there are no vaccines for babies at the hospital!!! Mothers are you facing the same Vacination issues,” she wrote.

“Federal Government pls look into this. My daughter needs her immunization. One year and counting.

“MMR Varicella! Cholera vaccines! Help our babies o!”

Kadiri got married in a private ceremony in 2019. Her union is blessed with two daughters.

In January 2020, the movie star revealed how the fear of combining her career and motherhood made her fall into depression during pregnancy.

She also said she was scared she would ruin her career and wouldn’t be a good mother.

Wale Edun, the minister of finance, says economic instability forced 800 companies to shut down operations.

Edun said this on Tuesday in Abuja during the sectoral report of President Bola Tinubu’s one year in office.

According to the minister, these enterprises’ exit was not unexpected.

He claimed that although certain problems—like unstable markets, broken contracts, and unfulfilled promises—had kept them away, they have since been fixed.

“Government did inherit an unstable economy,” Edun said.

“The 800 companies or so did not make up their minds overnight. They stayed until they could stay no more.

“The conditions which sent them packing are no more. Those conditions were a foreign exchange market that was in no way fit for purpose.

“There was no liquidity. They were a general economic regime marked by instability, broken promises, lack of adherence to contracts.”

Edun said the new environment for investors involves tackling inflation, which will eventually result in lower interest rates.

This, he said, will allow investors to leverage the dynamic domestic markets to enhance their equity and invest.

On March 6, the Manufacturers Association of Nigeria (MAN) said 767 manufacturers shut down operations, while 335 became distressed, in 2023.
