Ex-Rep Member Raises Alarm Over Insurgency's Impact on Children's Immunization in Northern Nigeria

Wale Okediran, a former member of the Nigerian House of Representatives, raised concerns about the impact of insurgency on children's health in northern Nigeria. He emphasized that the activities of groups like Boko Haram have restricted access to immunization for children, resulting in rising death rates and health crises over the past five years.

Okediran shared personal experiences of the challenges faced in the region due to the insurgency, affecting various sectors including healthcare and education. He also lamented the difficulty in visiting the North due to the security situation.

Okediran urged for collaborative efforts between Nigeria and foreign countries to address the insurgency and restore the region's previous stability.
