The executive director said women and community leaders were also informed on the importance of personal hygiene and attendance of antenatal for pregnant mothers.
He said that the local government area focal persons, health educators and World Health Organisations (WHO) facilitators at that level as well as media representatives were made part of campaign team.
He also commended the roles played Mrs Saraya Bello, Health Educator in the LGA for encouraging the women to patronize health facilities in their localities and ensuring that their children 0 to 9 months received their vaccination at regular intervals.
Hassan also called on the local government to provide a dispensary in the area to encourage members of the community to access health care services.
