The President of the Senate, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki, has assured the Ministry of Health of the Senate’s commitment to supporting all efforts to put an end to the outbreak of meningitis in the country. The outbreak has reportedly claimed the lives of up to 328 people.

Saraki said:

“I applaud FG’s, Ministry of Health, stakeholders and @WHOs effort to fight meningitis in Nigeria. We need all hands on deck!

“I spoke to Minister of Health, Prof. @IsaacFAdewole, on the #meningitis outbreak to assure him of @NGRSenates support.

“With a 15% mortality rate, the @NGRSenate stands ready to respond quickly to any requests for emergency assistance for #meningitis.
