NIGERIANS URGED TO COMPLEMENT FG’S EFFORTS IN FIGHTING POLIO
Nigerians have been urged to join hands with the Federal Government in the fight to eliminate Polio in the country.
A Stakeholder in the health sector, Mr Chimdi Oluoha stated this during a sensitization campaign to mark World polio Day in Abia State.
Mr Oluoha noted that the aim of the awareness was for people to join hands in the fight to eradicate the disease globally.
He stated that for the past two years, the country had not recorded any case of Polio disease in any part of the country noting that government was committed towards ending the disease in the nearest future.
Mr Oluoha called on parents and guardians to always bring out their children and wards between the ages of zero and five years for Polio immunization as the vaccine was free of charge.
