At the event at Government House, Umuahia, the state capital, Otti described the programme, tagged, “The in-school deworming programmes” as a matter of utmost importance to countless children in the state.

“The initiative will be piloted in six local governments, namely Ohafia, Bende, Ikwuano, Isiala Ngwa South, Obingwa, Osisioma with a target of deworming approximately 60,000 in-school children,” she said.

Represented by the wife of the deputy governor, Mrs Adaeze Emetu, she noted that the programme signifies the present administration’s commitment to ensuring the welfare of every child in school.

“Our decision to focus on children aged 6 to14 years, was informed by research indicating that most donour agencies typically pay more attention to children between the ages 0 to 5 years.”
