PolioA global organisation, Rotary International, says there is need for massive intercontinental collaboration to end polio in Nigeria.

The International Director of the group, Brad Howard, made the assertion when he led 35 members of the group from the Bahamas and U.S. on a courtesy call on the Rivers State Governor, Mr Nyesom Wike.

He added that their visit to the Government House in Port Harcourt was part of events to mark the Rotary International West Africa Project Fair.

Mr Howard expressed worry over the resurgence of four new cases of Polio disease in Borno State, northeast Nigeria.

He, however, noted that the disease needed a collaborative effort to ensure it was completely eradicated.

In his response, Governor Wike assured his guests that the state government would continue to provide the needed support.
