A chieftain of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), Olufemi Ajadi Oguntoyinbo, has advised both the Federal and state Governments to implement measures to prevent the further spread of cholera in the country.
He also cautioned Nigerians to stop unhygienic practices to prevent the spread of the cholera epidemic.
Recall that cases of cholera have been recorded in several states of the Federation.
Oguntoyinbo, in a statement on Friday, urged citizens to report any suspected case promptly to nearby government health agencies and hospitals.
His statement read, “I call on the Federal and state Governments to implement precautionary and safety measures to suppress the spread of this epidemic.
“To prevent cholera, citizens are urged to ensure safe drinking water by boiling, chlorinating, or using bottled water and to avoid ice products made from untreated water.
“They must also maintain proper sanitation by using toilets, safely disposing of faeces, and avoiding open defecation.”
