Chairman Ya’u urged residents to disregard unfounded rumors and misconceptions about the oral polio vaccine, assuring the public that it is safe, effective, and free of risks or side effects.
He appealed to the community to remain wise and support the effort to eradicate polio and other preventable childhood diseases.
Muhammad Naziru Ya’u further commended traditional rulers, religious leaders, health professionals, international and national donor organizations, federal and state agencies, and other development partners for their commitment to reducing maternal and child‑health challenges in the region.
Reaffirming his administration’s dedication, the Chairman pledged to continue complementing all health initiatives within available resources.
Rano Local Government will sustain efforts toward constructing new health facilities, rehabilitating existing ones, and ensuring adequate provision of essential drugs and medical equipment for efficient healthcare service delivery.
Speaking during the flag‑off ceremony, Primary Healthcare Coordinator Alhaji Ya’u Musa urged all trained personnel participating in the campaign to strictly adhere to the guidelines and protocols of their training.
He warned vaccinators to ensure that no case of rejection or non‑compliance is left unresolved, directing them to report such cases immediately to their respective focal persons.
