The Federal Capital Territory’s executive committee has directed the Abuja Metropolitan Management Council to restrict the activities of the Point of Sales operators in the FCT to commercial areas only because of security concerns.
It noted that apart from the security implications, the activities of POS operators were also constituting environmental nuisance as they serve to attract other commercial activities, thereby generating uncontrolled waste. It urged the Health and Human Services Secretariat of the FCTA to ensure an increased surveillance and awareness creation and sensitisation by all its relevant agencies in order to curb the risk of the deadly childhood disease from emerging and spreading within the territory.
It spreads through direct contact with infected people, droplets from coughing or sneezing and contact with contaminated clothing and objects, thereby underscoring the importance of hygiene and environmental sanitation in the prevention.
