“Water from suspicious sources should be well boiled or treated by adding one pint of chlorine solution to 100 pint of water.”

He said the state government has commenced community awareness campaign for the prevention of the disease.

He highlighted the commitment of Oyo State Government towards preventing an outbreak in the State.

In his words : “We are aware of the Cholera outbreak in some States of the federation, and our thoughts are on those affected.

“Despite that Oyo State has not recorded any such case, we however needed to be vigilant and take preventive measures, to avoid any spread of this disease in our communities.”

Mogbonjubola emphasized that the State is increasing surveillance, providing resources for safe water and ensuring that health facilities are prepared to handle any case.

He reiterated that the present administration is also collaborating with Park Management System leaders, market leaders, schools and other public facilities, industries and companies, at ensuring the practice of good sanitation, with the provision and use of hygienic toilets, latrines and by strictly avoiding open defecation.
