In this interview with DAYO OJERINDE, he speaks on the fight against malaria in the country and the consequences of theis malaria so common in Nigeria?
Malaria has a long history in Nigeria as in most parts of Africa. Recall that the British colonialists did not find it easy way back before and after the amalgamation of Nigeria. The country has the appropriate breeding requirements for the female Anopheles mosquitoes – the major vector of the disease. Various species of the Anopheles mosquitoes exist in the various ecological zones of the country.
The North-Central zone of the country has the highest malaria prevalence in Nigeria and these also differ within the states and the Local Government Areas and communities.Everyone should be involved through partnerships in using the interventions because malaria is indeed preventable. Also, critically important is political will by government.
