The House of Representatives candidate of the African Democratic Congress for Maiduguri Metropolitan Federal Constituency, Bulama Mullima, has sponsored the fumigation of streets and residential areas in Gwange, Maiduguri, Borno State, as part of efforts to reduce the prevalence of malaria and other mosquito-borne diseases in the metropolis.
The exercise, which was carried out on several streets within the community, attracted residents who commended the intervention, describing it as a timely response to the growing cases of malaria, particularly during the rainy season.
Residents who spoke during the exercise said stagnant water and poor environmental conditions had contributed to the increasing mosquito population in the area, making malaria one of the most common illnesses affecting households.
One of the coordinators of the fumigation exercise, Abdullahi Muhammad, explained that the intervention formed part of the ADC candidate’s commitment to improving public health and promoting a healthier environment for residents of Maiduguri.
