The Chairman of the State Social Mobilization and Community Engagement Working Group (SM&CEWG), Alh. Ali Musa Yawale, welcomed the participants and urged them to pay close attention to the presentations for better understanding and reporting.

According to him, Nigeria accounts for 54 per cent of Africa’s polio burden and ranks second in measles incidence after the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Darpi said the integrated campaign would protect a large cohort of children, interrupt transmission of measles, rubella and polio, strengthen routine immunisation, and reduce inequities in vaccine coverage.

Mr Benjamin Abata, the State Coordinator for Neglected Tropical Diseases Control Programme, said the integrated approach would ensure efficiency and reduce stress on both health workers and communities.

“Behavioural change, provision of household toilets, and water supply in schools and markets are critical to reducing the spread of these diseases,” Abata said.
