Finally it has been confirmed that Nigeria is polio free as President Muhammadu Buhari on Monday received a delisting certificate from the World Health Organisation to indicate the removal of Nigeria from the list of polio-endemic countries. Nigeria had not recorded a new case of the polio virus for the past 14 months.
According to Buhari, the Federal Government will sustain the campaign against the polio virus until the country is free of the disease by 2017.
