According to Dr Olufemi Oroge, Programme Manager, Osun State Malaria Elimination Control, states and the Federal Government are still battling to ensure that malaria ceases to be a public health concern in Nigeria.
“The closest in terms of cases is Congo DR and this shows that it is a big concern for the nation and Osun State is also part of it and so it is a major concern for us.”This development makes Nigeria the second country after Ghana to endorse the vaccine.He said, “There has been steady improvement but definitely we are not meeting the target of the global strategy.
“However, in 2021, by the time the result of the 2021 Malaria indicator survey came, Nigeria marginally improved going from 23 per cent to 22 per cent.
