Polio Spread Confined To Only Two Nigerian States - Minister by TheRealMrStan(m): 3:45pm On Nov 28, 2014
The Supervising Minister of State for Health, Dr. Khaliru Alhassan, on Thursday said Federal Government had successfully confined the spread of wild polio virus to Kano and Yobe.

Alhassan made this known when he gave update on the success being recorded by government towards total eradication of polio in the country.
According to him, the virus is now confined to only five local government areas compared to the more generalised situation in the past.
“We have made tremendous progress, as you are aware that this year we have only recorded six cases against 51 the same time last year. So, this is a remarkable achievement and if we maintain the tempo we are confidence that we are going to interrupt the transmission.
“Presently, we have the problem in only two states, that is, Kano and Yobe states and also only in particular LGAs.
“This is giving us an impression why we need to work more; we have been able to localise these cases in one geo-political zone. It will make our job a lot easier”.

According to Alhassan, in the last one year, 96 per cent of the 774 local government areas have been polio free while 95per cent of the 36 states and FCT have been without polio in the last one year.

In his remarks, Vice-President Namadi Sambo said that with the impressive gains being recorded in the fight against the polio virus, the disease would soon be completely eradicated from the country.
He, therefore, reassured that government would continue to give political support, ensure sustained funding of the programame, procurement of the polio vaccines and support the introduction of other new vaccines.

Sambo said the government would also continue to work with the traditional, religious leaders, development partners and other community based organisations, to ensure polio-free society.

Northerners and animals are synonymous to themselves.
They are like bread and butter.
There educated ones are not helping at all as they are taking advantage of them.
But why should I trust our government on this one since they've been lying to us since 1914.


by the way,who want to kill them?
boko haram has killed more than enough self.

I Don't intend to sound tribalistic. But I think we Don't need to be told before we know the states must be northern states..

Thank God they now accept immunisations.
