Rotary Clubs in Warri Lead Polio Vaccination Campaign

On World Polio Day, Rotary Clubs in Warri and its surroundings, under the leadership of Rotary International District 9141 Governor Anthony Olikagu, organized an awareness rally and vaccination campaign. The initiative aimed to immunize children aged zero to five years against polio, with Rotarians engaging in door-to-door outreach to educate families, particularly nursing mothers, on the necessity of vaccinating their infants.

District Polio Chairman Kenneth Okphior and former Assistant District Governor Temi Zuokumor highlighted the club's ongoing efforts to combat polio. Rotarians, including Austin Edon, Newton Ayiwe, and others, discussed their financial contributions to the World Health Organization to ensure free vaccine availability.

The district governor and his team also visited the Hausa community in Niger Cat, Ekpan, to immunize children. The event served as a reminder of the continuous commitment to eradicating polio.
