Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Lagos State has restated its commitment to ending the scourge of malaria, with Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu declaring that the state \u201cwill not rest until malaria becomes history.\u201d<\/p>\n

The governor made this known during the Mid-Term Review of the Pathway to Malaria Pre-Elimination in Lagos State, held at Eko Hotels, Victoria Island.<\/p>\n

The review session brought together national policymakers, international development partners, and private sector stakeholders to evaluate progress on the Impact Project and the digitalisation initiative launched earlier in March.<\/p>\n

The governor disclosed that Lagos had reduced malaria prevalence to around one percent, a milestone he described as proof that the state is on track to achieve elimination.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we embarked on this initiative in March, our vision was clear, to transform Lagos from a high-burden malaria zone into one on the verge of elimination.<\/p>\n

\u201cToday, the data shows we are closer than ever. Lagos will not rest until malaria is history, not just for us, but as an example for Nigeria and Africa,\u201d the governor said.<\/p>\n

He highlighted the impact of the state\u2019s newly introduced digital malaria surveillance system, which links public and private hospitals, pharmacies, and patent medicine vendors to monitor and report cases in real time.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor the first time, we now have a platform that makes malaria visible across the state. Every Lagosian must have access to rapid testing and the right treatment at the point of need. No case should be left unreported or unattended,\u201d Sanwo-Olu stressed.<\/p>\n

Sanwo-Olu urged residents to take personal responsibility for prevention by destroying mosquito breeding sites, testing before treatment, and making use of the formal healthcare system.<\/p>\n
