Dr Walter Kazadi Mulombo, the Head of Mission and the WHO’s Representative for Nigeria, commended Governor Sanwo-Olu’s administration for being proactive in its contribution and excellence response system, on making Nigeria polio-free as well as its second to none efforts in Africa at containing COVID-19 while imploring health workers to key into the role out of vaccines in order to revive the economy of Nigeria.
