Jos South Targets Sustained Malaria Fight in 2025

Hon. Silas Patrick Dung emphasized that the fight against malaria requires collective effort.

    Jos South Local Government has been recognized as one of the top performers in the last malaria vaccination exercise by the Plateau State Malaria Consortium.

    The Executive Chairman, Hon. Silas Patrick Dung, while acknowledging the commendation, emphasized that the fight against malaria requires collective effort and sustained partnerships.

    The Chairman, responding to the Plateau State Project Manager at Malaria Consortium, Dr. Mashor Mbwas who paid him a courtesy visit with his team in his office at the LG Secretariat, expressed gratitude for the recognition but stressed that the work is far from over. He attributed the success to the dedication of the local government’s team but warned against complacency.

    The chairman raised concerns about Nigeria’s reliance on foreign aid for health interventions, citing the recent suspension of U.S. aid under President Donald Trump. He called for proactive measures to ensure malaria eradication efforts continue even if international support dwindles.

    Beyond vaccinations, Hon. Dung highlighted the importance of environmental hygiene in combating malaria. He advocated for robust partnerships with organizations like NOA and NUJ to drive public awareness.

    During the visit, Dr. Mbwas outlined critical support needs for the upcoming 2025 Seasonal Malaria Chemoprevention (SMC) campaign to include, improved drug transportation logistics to remote facilities, enhanced supervision of medication administration, the chairman’s active participation in June’s campaign launch and review meetings

    Hon. Dung reaffirmed his commitment, adding that the Local Government will support every effort to make the program succeed, from logistics to supervision.
