Participants included Rotarians, healthcare professionals and volunteers, united in the mission to highlight the critical need for vaccination.

The event, which took participants from the Old Parade Ground to Area 1 and back aimed to bolster awareness of polio’s status in Nigeria and worldwide.

President of the club, Oluwafunmi Elufioye, emphasised the importance of continued vigilance, saying though Nigeria was declared wild polio-free in 2020, the circulation of vaccine-derived polio virus type 2 still posed risks.

Elufioye said the fight against polio was far from over as the disease could still be transmitted globally.
She shared that Rotary is one of the foremost global donors in the eradication of polio, stating, “We support with vaccines and funds. Each Rotarian contributes to the PolioPlus Fund, and with matching donations from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, our efforts are sustained.”
