Mr Ajanya stated, “The time has come for persons with disabilities to move from political margins to leadership.”
The Spanish government agreed on May 5 to receive the MV Hondius after a hantavirus outbreak was reported aboard the vessel.
The operator stated that no one on board the Dutch-flagged cruise liner HV Hondius was showing symptoms as of Friday.
He said eight cases have been reported so far.
Stakeholders at the event emphasised that effective infection prevention requires more than awareness.
WHO has confirmed a second case of Hantavirus infection aboard a cruise ship, bringing the total to seven, including three deaths.
They noted that strong primary health care systems remained the backbone of malaria elimination.
“There is no need for panic or travel restrictions,” the WHO said.
The state government also identified key challenges, especially persistent non-compliance in some communities.
The Enugu government has demonstrated its commitment to the fight against malaria through strategic interventions, the health commissioner, George Ugwu, has said.
