Nigeria has faced polios since along time. In 2012, the country accounted for more than half of all cases globally. Immunization is encouraged by the government to eradicate the virus. Nigerian government has a strong collaboration with WHO's polio eradication programme to abolish polios. That huge public health effort has overcome the problem for two years lately. It can be seen by only 21 wild polio cases have been reported so far this year, compared with 34 at the same point in 2015, and WHO has been predicting that the virus will be completely eradicated by 2019.
Unfortunately, in this year, two cases were reported. It was caused by complacent reactions from the government. However the overriding priority has been given to all children around the affected area immediately. The government wants to ensure that all the local children have been immunized.
