What the U.S Mission said

They stated that the U.S. government’s pledge to donate more vaccines to members of the African Union was part of the administration’s pledge to help developing nations fight the pandemic.

It was revealed that the U.S had also pledged to purchase and donate 1.1 billion COVID-19 vaccine doses worldwide, and to date, had delivered more than 180 million doses to more than 100 countries.

Biden said, “The United States is committed to bringing the same urgency to international vaccination efforts that we have demonstrated at home.

“We are sharing these vaccines to save lives and to lead the world in bringing an end to the pandemic.”

Reports cite that the U.S. government has provided 130 million dollars worth of support to Nigeria’s Ministry of Health and Presidential Steering Committee on COVID-19.
