Speaking at the inauguration ceremony held at the Awka South Headquarters podium, Prince Okafor urged the newly appointed task force to ensure effective leadership coordination in advancing routine immunization campaigns.

"The prudent management of funds for the task ahead will be crucial to the success of this initiative. I urge the team to recruit competent personnel who will help drive mobilization efforts for immunization campaigns in the target areas," the Mayor stated.


The Director of Awka South Healthcare Services, Dr. Ngozi Okeke expressed gratitude to Mayor Okafor and the Anambra State Ministry of Health for their unwavering support in achieving this milestone. She highlighted the significance of the National Immunization Drug Days (NIDDs) flag-off, stressing its role in promoting child healthcare.


The immunization campaign, scheduled to run for four days, will cover households, schools, and churches, targeting children between 0–59 months for oral polio vaccination. The exercise will conclude on May 6, with the task force overseeing mobilization, implementation, and monitoring activities at the grassroots level.
