  During an online conservation with her she said “I am going to do this by educating Nigerians on how to eradicate polio and malaria especially in the rural areas in Nigeria and that is why my project is SAVE A CHILD.” The objectives of this project are to create a chance to shine a spotlight on the nation’s effect to control Polio and Malaria. The Pulse Polio Initiatives (PPI) aims at covering every individual in the country. It’s aspires to reach even children in remote communities through an improved social mobilization plan. Not a single child should miss the immunization leaving no chance of polio occurrence. Cases of Acute Flaccid Paralysis (AFP) to be reported in time and stool specimens of them to be collected within 14 days. Outbreak Response Immunization (ORI) to be conducted as early as possible. Maintaining high level of surveillance performance of good mop-up operations where polio has disappeared.

 Let us all join hands to eradicate Polio and malaria out of Africa. Nigeria is one of four countries in the world- along with Pakistan, India and Afghanistan where polio is still a major health risk. It is possible when we all join hands together to eradicate polio and malaria out completely. Anytime the name Polio or Malaria is mentioned the first picture or colour that comes into a person’s mind is a black skinned person coming from Africa, its hard time we the people of Africa remove that stigmatisation we have been wearing for long...Lets support the beauty Queen Face of Spotlight Nigeria in attaining her visions and objectives...Join the group
