In an interview, Dr. Hussein Akor State director, head of the Malaria Elimination Programme and Ministry of Health, said:
“the state government has continued to distribute treated mosquito nets to residents to reduce the disease. drugs worth thousands of Naira have also been made available for the treatment of people infected with malaria.”

“the government would continue to give critical attention on the effect of the malaria disease in the state,  government would not rest on its oars until the disease was completely eradicated.”

Akor called on residents to keep their environment clean, noting that drainages should be opened to avoid stagnant water which breeds mosquitoes within the localities, adding that malaria was prevalent in the state because of people’s failure to keep their environment clean to ward off mosquitoes.

He said: “Many people don’t know the damage malaria can cause to the human system and as such do not take prescribed drugs to combat it which is quite wrong.’’

According to him, frequent blood test will ensure that people get to know the degree of their infection and the right drugs to ensure the effectiveness of drugs taken.
