It also urged the public to be more vigilant and to imbibe good sanitation and hygiene practices at home and in their workplace.
The Minister of State for Environment, Iziaq Salako, gave the directive in a statement on Monday in Abuja.
Salako further tasked all and sundry with preventive measures such as keeping their environment clean always and disposing of waste properly at designated places.
He said, “Ensure the use of clean and safe water. Water from suspicious sources should be well boiled or treated by adding one pack of chlorine solution to 100 parts.
“Avoid locally prepared drinks like kunu, zobo, fura da nono, koko, fruit juice among others except it is certain that the preparation was done in a hygienic and safe manner.
