Nigeria is one of only three countries in the world, classified as polio endemic nation.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), Nigeria is one of only three countries in the world, classified as polio endemic nation. The other two are; Afghanistan and Pakistan.
Nigeria is now looking to earn a Polio free certification in 2019, after years of effort to tackle the disease. Addressing the issue, Hon. Elvis Chukwu; an official of the Rotary International End Polio Campaign, said the advocacy and awareness must continue and all stake holders must not relent in their efforts to eradicate Polio from Nigeria. He said the campaign must continue - to reach and immunize every Nigerian child as every child not immunized, becomes a danger to other children.
Hon. Elvis believes that once these efforts are sustained by stake holders, the goal of Nigeria being certified polio free by the WHO will be achieved in 2019.
