Governor Godwin Obaseki of Edo State, yesterday, announced that a prize of N5m would be given to the Local Government Council that would achieve the highest immunisation coverage in the state this year, adding that his administration would restructure the popular Oba Market located in the heart of Benin City.
Obaseki announced that the state would be introducing an immunisation championship for LGAs to improve immunisation reach and uptake in the state, while urging parents and caregivers, especially mothers, to ensure that they immunised their wards up to 59 months.
He said: "We will continue to strengthen immunisation as it provides a holistic approach to controlling of vaccine-preventable disease and reducing infant and child mortality. We will make immunization service an integral part of our health care delivery" he assured.
“I have seen and inspected a space designed for clinic in Oba market, I will clean up the space and put a Primary health care clinic to cater for the health needs of the traders’ children and a crèche to take care of traders children”, he said.
“We need to improve the facilities within the market and get Oredo local government to do its job by ensuring that they clean-up the market, install electricity and convenience facilities in the market so that people can trade in the market not in the street or walkways,” he said.
