According to the director-general of NCDC, Dr. Chikwe Ihekweazu, the National Cholera EOC has led the deployment of Rapid Response Teams to support the most affected states- Benue, Kano, Kaduna, Zamfara, Bauchi and Plateau States.
Bauchi State from 24th to 28th July 2021, none of the medical interventions will solve the underlying issues leading to cholera outbreaks. “The long-term solution for cholera control lies in access to safe drinking water, maintenance of proper sanitation and hygiene.
