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.
