Zamfara state ministry of health has said that the state recorded zero polio case in the last two and half years.
The state director, Primary Health Care in the ministry, Alhaji Yusuf Musa Mafara, who made this known yesterday in a radio phone in programme to commemorate this year’s World Immunisation Week, attributed the success to government support.
He said in 2006, the state had over 60 cases of polio meningitis, and expressed happiness that for the past two and half years no polio case was recorded across the state.
He said the happy story and the successes were recorded due to the relentless efforts of the 14 LGAs, state, federal governments and partners, particularly the routine immunisation basket funds initiated by the state
