Reps ask NCDC to investigate “strange disease” ravaging Gombe communities

The House of Representatives has urged the Nigeria Center for Disease Control (NCDC) to initiate surveillance to contain the spread of an unknown disease ravaging Gombe State.

This resolution was a result of a motion of urgent public importance moved by Abdulahi El-Rasheed (PDP, Gombe) on Tuesday during plenary.

In the motion, Mr El-Rasheed said the disease has been spreading around Nafada Local Government Area of the state but that healthcare providers are yet to figure out the nature of the disease.
