The Federal Government has said that although Nigeria’s polio-free status calls for celebration, however, more work still needs to be done to ensure that the status is maintained and that no child is ever paralysed by the virus.
“In the last few years, we have been able to pull together documentation that shows that we’ve looked everywhere and we’ve been able to provide enough vaccines to Nigerians and the wild polio viruses are no longer circulating. “The next stage is for a formal certificate to be awarded to Mr. President to say we are all cleared and then, we will now look at how we will pull all of the resources – material, human and all of the technical knowledge that we have garnered over the last three decades to now make sure not only do we finish the work of polio eradication but we are also able to harness all of the resources from polio eradication to make sure that we are clear of all vaccine-preventable diseases.
“President Muhammadu Buhari and the National Assembly have actually committed enough resources to make sure that we are able to buy the vaccines that we need and also the operations that are required to take the vaccines from here in Abuja all the way to the most remote areas.
