The Nigeria Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (NCDC) has raised concerns over a surge in Lassa fever cases nationwide, with Bauchi, Edo, and Ondo States recording higher numbers since November 2024.
The Director-General of NCDC, Jide Idris, said this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja on Monday.
Mr Idris said the disease control agency had issued a comprehensive public advisory on Lassa fever, urging Nigerians to adopt preventive measures as cases continue to rise during the peak transmission season.
