Isaac Adewole, the minister of health, says he was expecting to deal with teenage pregnancies and other challenges, not a resurgence of polio.

The minister said this on Thursday while briefing the senate committee on primary healthcare and communicable diseases on the federal government’s efforts to deal with the disease.

“I wasn’t expecting polio as a challenge, I was expecting teenage pregnancy and other health challenges,” he said.

“The resurgence of polio is an unusual development and a major setback considering the investment of the international community, and the whole world was looking forward to celebrate Nigeria next year.”

Adewole explained that as part of government’s efforts to tackle polio, a loan of $125 million had been obtained from the World Bank.
