Africa-Press – Angola. <\/strong><\/span>Nigeria\u2019s singer-songwriter, composer and actress Yemi Alade has been appointed as Africa\u2019s ambassador for covid 19.<\/b><\/p>\n

The multiple award-winning African star is tasked with the responsibility of encouraging Africans to get vaccinated against Covid-19, in a campaign called It’s Up to Us.<\/p>\n

The campaign is spearheaded by the Africa Centre for Disease Control (CDC) and Mastercard<\/p>\n

According to the Africa CDC, just 12.33% of the continent’s population is fully vaccinated, and just 0.91% have received their booster shot.<\/p>\n
