As efforts continue to eliminate Polio in Nigeria completely, Rotary International says it is a task that must be accomplished.
This was disclosed by Rotary Public Image Coordinator for Zone 22, Region 27 Ibim Semenitari.
She spoke in a statement made available to journalists ahead of the visit of Rotary Foundation Chairman and Past Rotary International President, Holger Knaack, and his spouse Susanne, to Nigeria.
According to Semenitari, the visit is basically centred on strengthening Polio fight and promoting health initiatives
She said the week-long visit to Nigeria from November 1–7, 2025, would provide an opportunity to reinforce Rotary’s enduring commitment to eradicating polio, preventing disease, and protecting mothers and children.
“During the visit, Mr. Knaack will meet with Rotary leaders, government officials, and partners including the Federal Ministry of Health, National Primary Health Care Development Agency (NPHCDA), and other partners.
Similarly, Rotary International President-Elect Yinka Babalola was quoted as saying: “Our shared goal is not only to end polio but to build lasting systems that keep families healthy and strong.”
