The Special Adviser on Health, Dr. Ngozi Azodo, explained that there is a working synergy between the Ministries of Health, Environment and Public Utilities over the disease.

He stressed that a steering committee has been set up on the infectious diseases, while the state has keyed into the Federal Government “One-Health” policy.

Azodo also stated that the state government is looking at how to strengthen such facilities and has maintained high surveillance.

She called on citizens to maintain good hygiene, reduce contact with animals, and stay away from people with suspected cases.

She disclosed the Ministry of Health has concluded plans to deliver 200 Primary Healthcare Centres in 100 days; this will be done by ” renovating and retrofitting existing PHCs to bring them up to standard.”

According to her, the move is a “bold step taken by the ministry.

“Work begins in the first week of September, and delivery begins in December as a Christmas gift to Abians,” She said.
