Bauchi State government has disbursed N261 million to relevant agencies to fasttrack the successful implementation of the immunisation programme.
The Deputy Governor, Auwal Jatau said this during an advocacy visit by African Health Budget Network, AHBN, and the African Field Epidemiology Network, AFENET, yesterday in Bauchi.
He said the state government had released N261 million out of the N872 million earmarked for immunisation services, assuring that the remaining funds would be disbursed to support its immunisation agenda.
The visit, led by AHBN’s Focal Person, Dr Hassan Musa and AFENET Lead, Dr Habila Ismaila, is aimed at sustaining advocacy for the timely release of funds for immunisation activities.
Musa commended the state government for the allocation of N872 million for immunisation programme in 2025 and its support to the implementation of the Zero Dose Learning Hub.
He also lauded government’s efforts towards improving immunisation coverage, especially among zero-dose and underserved communities.
“The advocacy reflects a strong commitment from health stakeholders to strengthen immunisation system and ensure that no child is left behind in the state,” he said.
The visiting team also included members of Zero Dose Learning Hub, ZDLH. (NAN)
