“There is
a need to inform us that there have been reported cases of Meningitis ‘C’ in
our country and it is killing lives. The Type ‘A’ has been successfully dealt
with and now we are battling with the ‘C’ type. I call on all state governors
especially those of the north-west to start warming up to introduce vaccines.
Meningitis is a viral or bacterial disease in which an outside
layer of the brain or spinal cord becomes infected and swollen. It prognosis report is mostly poor.
