He said that the council had received 72,000 doses of Oral Polio Vaccines (OPVs) to cover the targeted number of children.

He explained that the children would be immunised against the disease during the five-day exercise which commenced on April 7.
He said that the council’s Head of Health Education, Alhaji Sule Shehu, had earlier visited District Heads of Miga and Zareku communities to sensitise them on the need to participate in the immunisation.
Yakubu added the council also sought the support and cooperation of other stakeholders in the council for the successful conduct of the exercise.
NAN reports that the exercise is currently being conducted across the 27 local government areas of the state.
