Who Won the U.S. Presidential Debate?

The Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) says that approximately one million Nigerian children die annually before their fifth birthday due to various illnesses.

The Mandate Secretary, Health Services and Environment Secretariat (HSES), Adedolapo Fasawe, said this on Friday at a news conference to kickstart the 2024 FCT Maternal Newborn and Child Health Week (MNCHW) vaccination.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the MNCHW vaccination exercise, which is free for children from age 0 to 59 months, is scheduled to begin on 20 July and end on 24 July.

Represented by the Permanent Secretary of FCTA, Babagana Adam, Mrs Fasawe said that the alarming rate of death among children between ages 0 to 59 months had compelled the FCTA to continually carry out the vaccination exercise annually.

Mr Fasawe said that malnutrition prevalence among children in the FCT also made it necessary to carry out the exercise to make Nigeria’s children free from all forms of diseases.
