The National Primary Health Care Development Agency (NPHCDA) gave a COVID vaccination report on Sunday evening.
According to the agency, 513,626 Nigerians have received the COVID vaccine and 25.5% of the allotted vaccine has been consumed.
According to the report, Lagos state has completed the most vaccination, with a total of 110,042 people receiving the jab. The state has consumed 43.3% of its allotted vaccine.
Kwara has used the most proportion (94.9) of its allotted vaccine, vaccinating 26,463 people across the state.
The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) has vaccinated 18,080, using 16.5% of its proportion.
Kogi state is the only one that is yet to vaccinate a single individual.
The latest report shows an improvement from what NPHCDA reported on Friday.

Nigeria received its share of the AstraZeneca COVID vaccine earlier this month from the WHO’s COVAX initiative.
The country has continued to vaccinate individuals despite there being reports of fatal side effects among some Europeans.
Nigeria is yet to record any death or serious side effects from the use of the vaccine, according to the health minister.
