“The Global Normalcy Index ranked Nigeria 4th position in the Economist’s Global Normalcy Index, out of 50 countries, which is commendable.''
Walter Kazadi Mulombo, the World Health Organization Country Representative, has clarified that the organisation had not ranked countries on the basis of their response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Mr Mulombo made the clarification in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria on the sidelines of the commencement of Nigeria’s second phase of the COVID-19 vaccines programme, held at the Federal Medical Centre , Jabi Abuja, on Monday. He, however, noted that Nigeria had mounted one of the most effective responses to COVID-19 , putting in place courageous measures and helping to avert the spread that was predicted.
According to him, “Some independent media analysis had previously presented a ranking for top 10 countries, with Nigeria appearing in 4th position. It should be noted, however, that this is not a WHO ranking. “The Global Normalcy Index ranked Nigeria 4th position in the Economist’s Global Normalcy Index, out of 50 countries, which is commendable,” he explained.
