The Nigeria Centre for Disease Control, in July, said 526 persons had died from cholera with 22,130 suspected cases recorded in 18 states and the Federal Capital Territory.
“The target areas are those places that are suffering from deficit in terms of water usage; most of the areas we visited are the slums in the Council,’’ Mr Chima said.
Mr Chima called on the government to collaborate with Non-Governmental Organisations to ensure that Cholera was stemmed out of the country.
