By Joyce Remi- Babayeju

FCT Minister of State, Dr. Ramatu Tijjani Aliyu, has vowed that the Administration will do everything possible to strengthen the entire routine immunization structure and primary health care landscape in the FCT in line with the vision of Mr. President Bihari on polio eradication in Nigeria.

Aliyu gave this assurance at the first meeting of the FCT Taskforce on Polio Eradication Initiative and Routine Immunization to discuss and strategize on matters of routine immunization activities for the year 2022.

The Mandate Secretary, Health and Human Services, Dr. Abubakar Tafida, revealed that the secretariat would deployed 1,639 teams in 4 days starting from January 22 to vaccinate 1165981 under 5 years children in 2,837 communities across the territory.

Tafida charged participants to identify the numerous challenges facing immunization landscape at the FCT area council and community levels with a view to finding solutions to those challenges.

In 2015 Mr President Buhari signed the reviewed Abuja Commitments document on behalf of the Federation while the Chairman, Governors’ Forum signed on behalf of the 36 States Governors and the Minister of FCT to ensure a Polio free Nation with clear responsibilities for each tier of government.
