The Nasarawa government says it is scrambling to contain the spread of the disease.

The Nasarawa State Government on Thursday confirmed the outbreak of cholera in the Akwanga local government area of the state.

The state Commissioner for Health, Emmanuel Akabe, said one person died of the disease while 18 others were hospitalized.

Mr. Akabe said some cases of diarrhoea and vomiting believed to be cholera were reported.

According to him, other patients are still being tested to know whether the symptoms they have are actually those of cholera.

“Though all the 18 patients that are presently on admission were vomiting and as well passing diarrhoea, this we are investigating,” he said.

The commissioner explained that Gov. Tanko Al-makura had released some funds to purchase drugs for the
treatment of the patients on admission.

Mr. Akabe said 20 testing kits for cholera were bought and distributed by the government.

He also said government would do everything humanly possible to control the spread of the disease.

The commissioner said more health personnel had been deployed to Akwanga General Hospital for proper and adequate treatment of
the affected patient

This is serious

Power Failure Ravage Pdp Controlled Nigeria
Terrorism Ravages Pdp Controlled Nigeria
Corruption Ravages Pdp Controlled Nigeria
Should We Go On?

I served in Nasarawa, and there were epidemics even at that time, and it was a PDP government. Cholera doesn't choose its host based on party affiliation. The problem with Nasarawa is not political party related but dearth of innovative ideas for development. I don't know what this present governor is doing, but Aliu Akwe Doma (hope I got his name right) was far from impressive. I just hope the present guy is working cos Nasarawa peeps are wonderful, they made me fall in love with mid-belt/northern Nigeria

@OP your topics are always divisive and filled with intellectually puerile conclusions. Learn from the likes of Naptu, Maximilliano, Rossik. I don't always agree with their views, but their threads are usually educative.

Shameless progressives

We don't need politicizing issue like this.
Just like saying AIDS ravages PDP-controlled Benue and Akwa ibom states.

The poster of this trash is under cerebral infirmity.
Not personal.
Not you bros.
But the poster.

PDP is the worst epidermic that has ravaged and its still ravaging Nigeria. Come 2015, we will push them out.

The poster is one and only insincerenigerian, a.k.a Abortionist. The poster is an expert in intellectual dishonesty. Shameless buffon!

The OP is a well known nuisance on this board. An evil minded lying fetid dolt. Waste of space who never sees anything wrong with his satanic president.
