The governor who said this at the flagging off of the distribution of over five million treated nets to households across Kaduna state, noted that the nets are effective in combating malaria.

‘’These nets are treated such that when mosquitoes come near them, they are exterminated and as such fully protect the users from mosquito bites. Consequently, we will continue to engage at every level, to get Kaduna residents to accept the use of mosquito nets,’’ he promised.

The distribution of the treated nets which was flagged off at Zakari Isa Primary Healthcare, at Doka District of Kaduna North Local Government Area on July 7, will continue across the state to July 18.

Speaking at the event, Dr. Amina Mohammed Baloni, the Commissioner of Health, said Kaduna state has ‘’achieved 68% refill rate order for all antimalarial commodities and there has been a reduction of malaria test positivity rate from 60.3% in 2020 to 37.2% in 2021.’’
