He said NEC  had been briefed by  the Executive Director of National Primary Health Care Development Agency on the preparations for measles vaccination.

He said he Council was as told that the campaign will be conducted first p in the 19 Northern states including the Federal Capital Territory while the second phase of the exercise would take place in the 17 Southern states..

According to Obaseki the states that have paid so far are Bayelsa, Borno, Edo, Imo, Kaduna, Kano, Kebbi, Nasarawa, Osun, Sokoto and Zamfara states.

He added: “24 states are yet to meet their obligations for the vaccination in this campaign.

“We therefore requested council to appeal to states who are yet to meet their obligations to act urgently to enable campaign take off on schedule in all states of the federation,”
