Rotary International President, Gordon Mclnally, has advised the Nigerian Government to continue to sustain its surveillance strategy to ensure that the country remains polio-free. McNally, who is on a visit to Nigeria, made the call in Abuja on Saturday during a Rotary Community Dialogue held at the Kuchingoro Primary School.

Speaking at the event, he also recommended the expansion of the organisation's $2 million maternal and child advancement project to the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory . The three year Rotary International maternal and child advancement project, with the theme, 'Together for Healthy Families in Nigeria', is currently being implemented in six states. Mclnally stressed the need to ensure that the impact of the project is felt across the country.

The way the Rotary Foundation, which is our charitable arm operates, is that we seek bids for grants and I know that bids are coming in from Nigeria all the time for various projects across all of our areas of focus, education, health, maternal and child care, water and sanitation, economic development, peace, which is a very important aspect of Rotary’s work, and the environment,” he added.
