The Nasarawa State House of Assembly has urged the state government to declare a state of emergency on hepatitis and other deadly diseases following the death of 28 persons in Doma Local Government Area of the state.
The Speaker of the House, Danladi Jatau, gave the appeal under a matter of public importance brought by Musa Ibrahim (NNPP- Doma South) on the deaths of the people in his constituency due to hepatitis during the House’ proceedings on Monday in Lafia.
Mr Jatau said if the government declared a state of emergency on hepatitis, it would go a long way in curtailing the spread of diseases, thereby improving the health status of the people of the state.
