The Nigerian Primary
Healthcare Development Agency (NPHCDA) has ranked Kebbi State FIRST in
performance in the implementation of the measles vaccination campaign in the
North-West Zone which commenced on November 9th, 2017.
It can be recalled that His
Excellency, Governor Abubakar Atiku Bagudu was the first to release N22 million
as counterpart funding for the 2017 campaign with a target to vaccinate 850,000 children aged between nine to
fifty nine months.
He also personally flagged off the campaign in Bagudo LG
with his wife Dr Zainab Atiku Bagudu alongside other political, traditional and
religious leaders. The governors wife has since visited Augie, Koko and Zuru
local governments mobilizing, participating and motivating citizens and
personnel in the campaign. The advocacy is being championed at LG level by
wives of chairmen.
The Executive
Secretary, Kebbi State Primary Healthcare Development Agency, Munir Jega
announced on Saturday that 1131 teams were trained and deployed to conduct the
exercise. It is expected that if the health team continues with the current
trend, there will be significant improvement in the immunization level of Kebbi
state which currently unacceptably sits below 20%.
