As part of the advocacy, the Chairman and his team personally visited all government schools and markets across the LCDA. During these visits, they engaged directly with students, teachers, market vendors, and the community at large, emphasizing the importance of hygiene, clean water, and proper sanitation. These visits underscored the administration’s hands-on approach and commitment to combating cholera at the grassroots level.
"Our commitment to the health and safety of our community is very important. The Cholera Advocacy Awareness Campaign is a testament to our proactive approach in addressing public health challenges. By educating our residents, providing necessary resources, and fostering collaborations, we aim to create a healthier and more resilient Igbogbo/Baiyeku LCDA. Together, we can prevent cholera and protect our loved ones from its devastating effects." Daini said.
Daini urged all residents to actively participate in the awareness programs and adhere to the preventive measures outlined during the sensitization. Stating that the cooperation of the people is crucial in ensuring the success of this initiative and safeguarding the health of our community.
