 Kogi Allocates ₦4bn for Malaria Prevention Initiative


The Kogi State Government has earmarked over ₦4 billion for malaria prevention efforts across the state's healthcare system.


Governor Ahmed Ododo announced this at the launch of a statewide malaria prevention campaign, which includes the distribution of free anti-malaria drugs, rapid diagnostic test kits, and over three million insecticide-treated nets to healthcare facilities.


According to a statement by the governor’s media adviser, Ismail Isah, the initiative aligns with Ododo’s commitment to improving public health and tackling the high malaria prevalence in the state.


Citing the 2024 World Malaria Report, Ododo highlighted that Africa accounted for 94% of global malaria cases in 2023, with Nigeria contributing 30% of the recorded 5,970 deaths. He noted that Kogi’s malaria prevalence rate of 16% exceeds the national target of less than 10%, making urgent intervention necessary.


The governor emphasized that the distributed medical supplies must reach the intended communities and warned against diversion, stating that culprits would be held accountable.


The intervention, supported by the Islamic Development Bank, includes over 10,000 cartons of anti-malaria drugs and test kits containing more than one million doses for children and nearly two million doses for adults. These supplies will be distributed across 536 government health facilities, including primary healthcare centers, general hospitals, and teaching hospitals.


Ododo commended healthcare workers for their dedication to improving rural healthcare and called on traditional rulers, NGOs, and religious leaders to support the initiative.


He reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to strengthening the health sector as a key pillar of development and expressed confidence that this initiative, along with federal government healthcare reforms under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, would significantly reduce malaria cases in Kogi State.


Health Commissioner Dr. Abdulazeez Adams also stressed the importance of ensuring that every household has access to malaria prevention resources, including test kits, drugs, and insecticide-treated nets.
