According to a news report from Business Day, Yakubu Danlad-Salihu, the Speaker of the House, has called on Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrasaq to instruct the Ministry of Health to conduct statewide cholera vaccination campaigns targeting high-risk population areas. Additionally, he emphasised the need for a surveillance system to swiftly detect and respond to any suspected cholera cases.

The Speaker also urged the Governor to direct the Ministry of Environment to enhance sanitation infrastructure and ensure proper waste management practices to prevent water contamination and pollution.

This appeal was in response to Oba Magaji Abdulkadir, a lawmaker representing Ilorin Central at the Kwara State House of Assembly, who highlighted the necessity of averting a cholera outbreak in the state during a recent plenary debate on a Matter of General Importance.

He explained that the Cholera caused by the vibrio bacterium, spreads rapidly through contaminated water and food and posing a severe threat to public health.

Other lawmakers who contributed to the debate applauded the Governor for his administration's efforts in the provision of clean and safe drinking water to all communities across the state and advised Kwarans to continue to abide by the government laid down rules towards ensure clean environment.

They also lauded the government for prompt payment of counterpart found in water and sanitation programmes, among others.
