    The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) has partnered with the Kano State Radio Corporation to promote polio immunization awareness and action in Nigeria and Africa through a song titled “No More Zero Dose.”

    This initiative aims to eradicate polio, a viral disease that once caused widespread paralysis among children worldwide. Since 1988, polio cases have decreased by 99%, but thousands of children remain unvaccinated.

    UNICEF’s Kano Field Office Chief, Rahama Farah, emphasized the song’s importance in highlighting West and Central Africa’s urgent need for increased immunization coverage. Nigeria faces challenges in vaccinating eligible children, particularly in Kano, Jigawa and Katsina

    Speaking during the event, the Chief of UNICEF’s Kano Field Office, Rahama Farah, noted that, the song sheds light on the urgent and critical need for increased immunization coverage in West and Central Africa, a region that has had multiple outbreaks of vaccine-preventable diseases like diphtheria, measles, polio, yellow fever, cerebrospinal meningitis among others.

    He explained that Nigeria, despite the progress made in improving Immunization, continues to face challenges in getting all eligible children vaccinated, citing example of Kano, Jigawa and Katsina states with a total record of 556,750 Zero Dose children.FB IMG 1729852909183

    Farah therefore sought for the support of the various stakeholders present at the event to spread the message on the importance of Immunization and getting every child under five fully immunized.
