Idris also said the Federal Government has activated the National Emergency Operation Centre for cholera.
He said, “As of June 24, 2024, 1,528 suspected cases and 53 deaths have been recorded across 31 states and 107 LGAs with a case fatality rate of 3.5 per cent since the beginning of the year.
“These fatalities are not just statistics but a significant loss of a loved family member, a spouse, a parent, and often a seasoned healthcare worker and team member.
“This situation is compounded as the rainy season intensifies.”
He disclosed that experts who conducted the risk assessment last week placed Nigeria at high risk of increased risk of cholera transmission and impact.
