    The World Health Organisation, WHO, has begun a mass vaccination as part of the campaign to protect over 4 million children against measles in conflict-affected North-East states.


   The global health body said the two-week exercise at the internally displaced people, IDP’s camps is targeting all children aged between six months and 10 years in accessible areas in Borno, Yobe and Adamawa states.

   In a related development, Chairman of Dangote Foundation, Aliko Dangote, has called for the need for accountability in managing donor funds released for Polio immunisation in Kano State government last year.
