The Minister of Health, Dr Halliru Alhassan on Thursday says Nigeria will be certified polio-free this January.

Alhassan disclosed this to newsmen in Sokoto while reviewing some of the activities of his ministry in 2014.

According to him, no case of polio has been recorded in the country in the last six months, and this qualifies the country to be declared polio-free in line with global requirements.

“This is because only six cases of the wild polio virus were recorded in the last six months in Kano and Jigawa states.

” This feat is a remarkable departure from the nearly 52 WPV cases the country recorded during the same period under review in 2013.

“With this happy development, we are optimistic that Nigeria will be completing the six months required to be declared polio-free by this month,” the minister said.

” The country has indeed made tremendous progress in ensuring the total eradication of polio and it would be sustained.

” The Federal Government would sustain these successes; we have eradicated Ebola and Guinea worm, and polio is on the verge of becoming history in Nigeria,” Alhassan added.
He further expressed happiness that the nation was recording massive reduction in maternal mortality through the support of the Milllenium Development Goals.

Are you sure about all these? To the most important of claims. What do you mean when you say that life was sweeter in his days in comparison to now?

Ordinary Abacha got the country running at $11 a barrel and that was a miracle. Your man is the most unintelligent president in the history of Nigeria. You are un-exposed that is why second hand diesel trains, inadequate PPP infrastructure projects financed with Chinese money that my children will have to pay and half completed air ports are confusing you. Think of $60billion times 6 years; that is the money that Nigeria has made in six years from oil, gas, agric exports and taxes which is $360billion or N60 trillion. Please use your intellect to ask your self if you dont deserve at least ten times what you have gotten from the federal gov't. Please leave out state governments achievements even though we know Jonathan has been claiming credit for what a lot of state gov't have done. Lagos, Rivers, Kano, Owen, Edo and AkwaIbom are some of them
The BOKO HARAM war is bleeding Nigeria of N5billion a day because this Nincompoop of a president is too scared shirtless to call Generals to order and get value from them. Nigeria is now the most disgraced country in the world in terms of defence, the Chibok girls are missing, corruption is high, $10billion are kissing and I have to go vote again for CLUELESS??. GOD FORBID !!!!!!!

those second hand diesel trains did your past president provide it for you

This is guy is a bad market. His good luck is personally appropriated. He was not good luck for Alamieseyah and Yaradua. He is not good for Nigeria. We have lost N20trillion since this guy became president. Oil price was high... that was why he was able to do things but he has returned us to a debtor nation. I am watching a program on channels TV and the question was ''what have we done with the surplus'?''

Please.. Nigeria is a very intelligent country. We usually can smell fake a mile off. This man you are suing in the picture is FAKE. He does not know half of what has been credited to him and cannot manage Nigeria at $55 a barrel oil price. The same mistake the country made with Obi especially the political class in the SE voting him in place of False. In four years they were cursing the man butnit was too late.
Stop thinking tribally get this fake smile off the office of President.
