The next polio campaign is scheduled to commence this Saturday, 26th April 2025, in batches, with the northern states, while the southern states will commence on May 3rd.
The northern states will synchronize with our neighboring countries in the Lake Basin.
The Coordinating Minister of Health and Social Welfare, Prof. Muhammad Ali Pate, joined his colleagues from the Lake Chad Basin countries (Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, and Niger) last week in N’Djamena, Chad, to launch the synchronized polio vaccination campaign. The goal is to reach about 83 million children across these Lake Chad Basin countries.
