President Buhari thanks Bill Gates, others congratulates Nigeria on Polio eradication
President Muhammadu Buhari has congratulated Nigerians and the country on becoming Wild Polio Virus Free.
He said the achievement reflects the resilient spirit of Nigerians, particularly the capacity of hardworking men and women in the health industry, who drew resources and support from multiple sectors to deal a final blow to the deadly virus. “This landmark achievement is also a promise kept to all Nigerians. As you will recall that in August 2015, barely three months after we assumed office, I promised Nigerians that: ‘My government shall provide the necessary resources and commitment required to strengthen the health system, routine immunization and ensure the country is certified Polio free.
“This achievement of polio-free status is a hard-won battle spanning over three decades of hard work and dedication by the Global Polio Eradication Initiative , the Federal, States and Local Governments, polio eradication team at all levels, our donors and development partners, both local and international.
