The Kano state government has reiterated its commitment to support the fight against the resurgence of Polio Virus in some part of the state.
The State Governor, Engineer Abba Kabir Yusuf stated this during the official launch of Polio Vaccination Exercise in Gabasawa LGA.
Yusuf represented by his Deputy, Comrade Aminu Abdussalam Gwarzo, expressed concern over the resurgence of polio in 26 states, including Kano, following Nigeria’s certification as polio-free by the World Health Organization on August 25, 2020.
In a statement issued to newsmen by Press Secretary to the Deputy Governor Ibrahim Garba Shu’aibu, Governor Abba said that the decision to start the campaign in Gabasawa was due to its having the highest ratio of unvaccinated children in the state, as per health reports.
