LondonToLagos Biker In Jos On Campaign Against Polio

Plateau State Governor Simon Bako Lalong has received Kunle Adeyanju, the London to Lagos biker as he continues his tour around the country to advocate for the eradication of polio.

Adeyanju who is in Jos met with Governor Simon Lalong at the oldest golf course in Nigeria, Rayfield, Plateau State on Saturday.

He said he is still going round the country to encourage Nigerians to keep on the fight against Polio so that the disease will not have a comeback. 

Adeyanju stated that just last week, Polio was recorded in the UK while reiterating the fact that Malawi, Cote D'Ivoire and Togo still have the ailment.

He noted that it is very important for the country to sustain its efforts to permanently kick polio out of Nigeria. 

Governor Lalong congratulated Adeyanju on a successful trip from London, welcoming him to Plateau State, and described him as a hero and worthy ambassador of the nation. 

The governor appreciated his effort in fighting against Polio, a disease which he said did a lot of damage to Nigeria and took a very long time to be checkmated. 

He assured him that the Government of Plateau State would continue to do its best to not only address polio-related matters but also handle other diseases that pose a threat to public health and safety. 

Speaking on tourism, Lalong said his administration would continue to create the right atmosphere, thereby making it possible for more people to visit Plateau State for leisure and business. 

He used the opportunity to appeal to Adeyanju to use the opportunity of his visit to send out the correct information about the state being peaceful, accommodating and investor-friendly, which has emerged out of the sustained efforts of the rescue administration.
