The Nigeria Centre for Disease Control and Prevention has recorded a total of 14,237 cases of cholera across 35 states and the Federal Capital Territory, spanning 339 local government areas as of October 13, 2024
The Director General of the NCDC, Dr Jide Idris, who made this known at a press briefing on Thursday in Abuja, noted that the disease has claimed 378 lives so far.
Idris said cholera remains a serious public health issue, particularly in areas with inadequate water, sanitation, and hygiene systems.
He, however, said the centre was working with stakeholders to mitigate the spread, and save lives.
