The commissioner for health in Sokoto State has called on people to remain vigilant about the rising cases of meningitis identified in some local government areas.

The commissioner of health, Dr Faruk Umar Abubakar Wurno, advised in a statement that this has become necessary as most of the samples collected and sent to the laboratory for investigation by the ministry were confirmed to be meningitis.

He also said the ministry has intensified surveillance, case management, and public health intervention to curb the spread of the disease.

He, therefore, urged people to take precautionary measures against deadly diseases.

These include seeking immediate medical attention at the nearest health facility upon experiencing symptoms such as fever, severe headache, neck stiffness or any unusual symptoms.
