Knowledge, risk perception and uptake of Covid-19 vaccination among internally displaced persons in complex humanitarian emergency setting, Northeast Nigeria
This study revealed gaps in COVID-19 knowledge, risk perception, and vaccination uptake but demonstrated a significant relationship between risk perception and COVID-19 preventive practices. Health education and risk communication should be intensified to improve knowledge, elicit stronger risk perception, and enhance COVID-19 preventive practices
Factors associated with health-seeking patterns among internally displaced persons in complex humanitarian emergency, Northeast Nigeria
This population exhibited heterogeneous patterns of health-seeking at facility and non-facility centers. Perception of illness severity and camps' status were major factors associated with health-seeking. To enhance surveillance, non-facility care providers should be systematically integrated into the surveillance network while ramping up risk communication to shape perception of illness severity, prioritizing unofficial camps
Evaluation of acute flaccid paralysis surveillance indicators in Sokoto state, Nigeria, 2012–2019
Sokoto State has exceeded the WHO minimum standards in most of the AFP surveillance indicators. The performance of the system is sufficient enough to detect any reintroduction of WPV into the state. However, there is a need for improvement in data quality

The platform supports real-time data reporting and promotes government ownership and accountability. To strengthen its routine immunisation (RI) component, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) through its implementing partner, the African Field Epidemiology…
A cholera outbreak in a rural north central Nigerian community
Vibrio cholerae was the cause of the outbreak in Gomani. Drinking water from Zamani river, living in overcrowded HH and poor hand hygiene were significantly associated with the outbreak. We initiated hand hygiene and water treatment to control the outbreak
