Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

The National Biosafety Management Agency has urged the public to exercise caution in light of the recent cholera epidemic in several Nigerian states.

Mrs Gloria Ogbaki, Head of Information and Communications for the NBMA, said in a statement issued on Friday in Abuja that the Director-General of the NBMA, Dr Agnes Asagbra, had stated that caution was required. Asagbra advised Nigerians to exercise caution, citing 30 deaths and 1,141 suspected cases of the disease.

The states of Bayelsa, Zamfara, Abia, Cross River, Bauchi, Delta, Katsina, Imo, Nasarawa, and Lagos have reported cases of cholera, a highly contagious bacterial infection.

According to Asagbra, the NBMA is actively monitoring the situation and working with health authorities to contain the disease’s spread.

She also encouraged Nigerians to adopt alternative hygiene habits, such as boiling drinking water or using certified water purification technologies.

According to her, it is necessary to properly wash hands with soap and water, especially before eating or preparing food.

The Director-General also asked Nigerians to constantly wash their hands with soap and water after using the toilet, to thoroughly cook their food, and to eat it while it was still hot.

She recommended Nigerians to avoid raw foods, such as fruits and vegetables, unless they could be peeled or washed with safe water, and to keep the surroundings clean and properly dispose of waste to avoid infection.

What they’re saying

“As we approach the festive period of the Salah celebrations, it is critical that we focus our communities’ health and safety.

She continued, “NBMA urges all Nigerians to be vigilant and adhere to these hygiene practices to protect themselves and their loved ones from cholera.” She urged Nigerians to stay alert and report any cases of cholera to the nearest hospital.

Final Thoughts

Cholera is treatable, but early detection is crucial. Being aware of the symptoms and seeking medical attention if needed is important.

This is a serious public health issue, and hopefully, the collaboration between NBMA and health authorities can effectively contain the outbreak.
