In his efforts towards having a Council area free of polio diseases, the Executive Chairman, Ogun Waterside Local Government, Abigi Alh. Hon. Mudashir Adekunle Abdulateef recently flagged off the commencement of the polio vaccines to children between the ages of 0 and 59 months across the length and breadth of the council area.                   

Hon. Mudashir in his speech at the occasion held at the  Council's Secretariat, Abigi eulogies the Federal, State, and Local Governments for the humongous amount of money expended so far on polio eradication since it was first noticed in the Northern part of Nigeria in 2005 when a CDC laboratory technician at a polio laboratory noticed a preponderance of type of polio-virus in the samples from Northern, Nigeria. As of September 2007, it was reported that 69 cases had been discovered and now the cases had reduced significantly to the barest minimum owing to the proper attention given to it by different governments to curtail the spread. 
He further charged Mothers within the Local Government to embrace the kind gesture in good faith as it's a part of the welfare package of the government to its citizenry.

The Council boss then enjoined Health Workers to make sure that every child within the range of the specified age bracket are well monitored and gets vaccinated.        

The occasion had in attendance; the Head of Local Government Administration, Mr. R. A. Olaleye, Directors/ Heads of Department, Health Workers as well as other important dignitaries within the Local Government area among others.
