Speaking earlier, the District Governor of Rotary 9125, Mrs.Jumoke Bamigboye explained that the reason for choosing Kano to host the event is that, “Rotary International came to Nigeria through Kano,therefore, we have to come back to thank the people of the State for accepting us.”
She commended the commitment of the Kano State Government and the Emirate Council for their support in ensuring that people accept the polio virus vaccine.
“We must keep on with the routine immunisation,whenever a woman gives birth, we must protect the child through immunisation against polio virus,” she added.
She, however, expressed appreciation to the Kano State Government for accepting to host the Rotary Day.
