The governor  made the pledge in Kano yesterday during the flag off ceremony of the 2024 polio eradication campaign in Dawakin Kudu local government area of the state.

He said in its determination to intensify vaccination efforts, government would work with local communities to reach every part of the state to ensure that all children are vaccinated.

He added that the state government would continue to ensure vigilance to ensure routine immunisation among children in order to give them the necessary protection.

While calling on parents to make their wards available for immunisation, Yusuf tasked them on maintaining good hygiene, assuring them of government’s commitments to programmes and policies that would improve their wellbeing.

Chairman of the state task force on polio eradication who is also the deputy governor, Comrade Aminu Gwarzo, thanked the various partners for their commitment to end polio not just in Kano but the country at large.

He reiterated the states’ government commitment to cooperate with donor agencies to ensure they get rid of polio.

The state commissioner for health, Dr. Abubakar Yusuf, said Dawakin Kudu was chosen as the flag-off location due to its low routine immunisation coverage.

Country Representative of the World Health Organization, Dr Walter Kazadi Mulombo Walter who was represented the organisation’s State Coordinator, Dr. Mayana Sanusi stated that to ensure quality implementation and adherence to the SOPs and guidelines, WHO deployed 484 Field Volunteers, 68, Enhanced Independent Monitors, 45 Local Government Facilitators, 19 Assistant Public Health Officers and 6 Management Support Team to provide technical support to the vaccination team and ensure no child is missed.
