The Minority Leadership of the House of Representatives, led by Kingsley Chinda, calls for urgent action as cholera cases rise across thirty states in Nigeria, highlighting critical public health deficiencies.
The Minority Leadership of the House of Representatives has expressed deep concern over the alarming rise in cholera cases across thirty states in Nigeria, as reported by the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control . Minority Leader Kingsley Chinda stated that the outbreak underscores significant deficiencies in public health safety measures and the urgent need for immediate action.
Chinda elaborated, “Cholera, a waterborne disease, thrives in conditions where access to clean water and sanitation is compromised. The current outbreaks are exacerbated by inadequate sanitation facilities and poor hygiene practices, particularly in densely populated areas and communities with limited access to clean water.”
He urged the Nigerian government, including state governments, to prioritise the allocation of resources towards improving water and sanitation facilities in affected communities. “Investing in robust public health education programmes is crucial to raising awareness about hygiene practices that can prevent the spread of cholera and other waterborne diseases.”
