The Kwara State Government has commenced another round of the National Immunisation Plus Days (NIPDs) campaign across three local government areas to safeguard children against poliomyelitis and other vaccine-preventable diseases.

The vaccination exercise, which runs from Saturday, November 7, to Tuesday, November 10, 2026, covers Baruten, Kaiama, and Moro Local Government Areas.

Disclosing the development in an official press statement, the Executive Secretary of the Kwara State Primary Health Care Development Agency (KWSPHCDA), Professor Nusirat Elelu, called on parents, guardians, and caregivers within the targeted LGAs to present their eligible children for vaccination.

Professor Elelu highlighted that routine immunisation combined with supplementary vaccination campaigns remain vital public health measures for preventing diseases like poliomyelitis, which can cause permanent paralysis in children.

She advised caregivers to present their children's immunisation cards at designated vaccination posts to ensure proper documentation and record tracking.

The Executive Secretary also called on community, traditional, and religious leaders to assist in mobilizing households and dispelling misconceptions that could hinder vaccine acceptance.

Reaffirming the agency's commitment under the leadership of Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, Professor Elelu assured residents that the state government remains dedicated to expanding access to primary healthcare and ensuring no eligible child is missed.
