The Kano State Ministry of Health has suspended health officials and partner organizations supporting the ongoing campaign against measles and rubella in Kabo Local Government Area for failing to report for duty. They have consequently been replaced with new personnel.
This was disclosed in a statement issued by the Public Relations Officer of the Kano State Primary Health Care Management Board, Sa’adatu Suleiman.
Those suspended include all officials involved in the vaccination exercise in Kabo Local Government Area; which included Head of the Health Department, the Officer in Charge of Immunization, and representatives of foreign partner organizations — as well as other health workers.
The Commissioner has already appointed new officers to take over the vaccination campaign in Kabo to ensure the successful implementation of the program’s objectives.
