He said the campaign will be carried out in all the 21 local governments in Adamawa state for wider awareness, calling on parents and caregivers to support the vaccinators and the health workers to achieve the goal of polio free Adamawa.


The director further stated that plans have been put in place to ensure smooth campaign as resources and funds have been mobilised adequately.


The outbreak campaign is expected to start between the 26th to 30th April 2025.
