President MUHAMMADU BUHARI has acknowledged the resilient spirit of Nigerians in the journey leading to the eventual certification of the country as Polio Virus-free by the World Health Organization.

President BUHARI particularly expressed delight in the capacity of the nation’s health professionals, who relentlessly mobilised resources from diverse sectors, to conquer the deadly disease.

In a statement issued by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, GARBA SHEHU, the President equally appreciated local and foreign partners as well as traditional and religious leaders for their contributions.

The president also noted that this achievement is not only one of the great successes of this generation of Nigerians, but also one of the obvious dividends of his administration, which is consistent with the progressive investment in the health of Nigerians since 2015.
