Bola Tinubu and Kashim Shettima
Mr Ben Goong, Director, of the Information and Public Relations Department in the ministry, recently had his say via a press statement, and Nigerians have been reacting.
According to him, he can only call on stakeholders as well as states bordering Zamfara to take immediate steps to prevent the further spread of the disease because proactive measures must be taken to mitigate risks associated with the disease.
He added that while Anthrax is preventable through coordinated efforts, quick detection and response are critical to containing its spread.
His words, “We urge the public to remain vigilant, report any unusual illnesses in animals or humans and adhere to all preventive guidelines issued by relevant authorities.
While Anthrax is preventable through coordinated efforts such as risk assessment, surveys and ring vaccination of susceptible animals in high-risk areas, prompt detection and response are critical to containing its spread.
The ministry remains committed to collaborating with all stakeholders to ensure a swift and effective response.”
WOW.
