The Transition Committee Chairman of Awka North Local Government Area, Comrade ThankGod Anago has called on parents to bring out their children and wards to participate in the statewide on-going immunization against Circulating Variant Polio Virus Two.

 

Comrade Anago, who made this appeal while speaking to the ABS Health Correspondent, Chibuzor Okoye thanked Governor Chukwuma Soludo for the proactive steps his administration is taking in ensuring the healthy living of Ndi Anambra.

 

He noted that the immunization is free and safe and urged health workers in Awka North to do their work efficiently and effectively so as to achieve the aim of the objective which is to maintain the state’s polio free status.

 

Comrade Anago, who called on parents and caregivers to bring out their children and wards who are between the ages of zero to fifty-nine months to be immunized, promised that Awka-North Local Government will continue to support every programme of the Soludo administration, especially as it concerns healthcare delivery.

Recently, Circulating Variant Polio virus two was discovered somewhere in Enugu state which prompted the Anambra state government to take a proactive measure by engaging in the on-going immunization to prevent it from spreading into the state.
