The World Health Organisation (WHO)<\/strong> <\/a>has lauded the Kano Government for scaling up COVID-19 vaccination in the state.<\/p>\n

The WHO Country Representative to Nigeria, Dr Walter Mulombo, gave the commendation on Wednesday, when he visited Gov. Abdullahi Ganduje<\/strong> <\/a>in Kano.<\/p>\n

He praised the government for applying the same strategy it used to Polio in the state, which culminated into total eradication of the disease in the country.<\/p>\n

\u201dSometime in the past, the Kano state was number 34 in COVID-19 vaccination exercise. But because of your commitment, Your Excellency, Kano is now number four in the exercise, which is a tremendous achievement indeed.<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause of how your administration is scaling-up the exercise, some African countries are copying from the Kano government\u2019s effort around that area,\u201d Mulombo said.<\/p>\n

Responding, Ganduje appreciated the WHO and other development partners for strengthening institutions and human resource development in the state and the country in general.<\/p>\n

\u201dWhile we are thanking you for all your efforts, we are still battling with malnutrition.<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause of the high cost of dealing with this issue, we are now looking inward to make use of our local supplements.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are therefore requesting partnership in this area of malnutrition.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe also need partnership in the area of public laboratory,\u201d the governor said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
