 He warned that TADs have a high mortality rate and are contagious as they can cause negative socio-economic and public health consequences.

 He appealed to the pastoralists and other stakeholders to give the necessary cooperation to veterinary personnel that would conduct the exercise so as to ensure success.

Earlier, the Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, Dr Mohammed Mahmood Abubakar, said the launch of the vaccination exercise was to ensure an improved livestock sub-sector.

 Represented by the Chief Veterinary Officer of Nigeria, Dr Maimuna Habib, he said the vaccination was against TADs such as Contagious Bovine Pleuropneumonia (CBPP), Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD), Peste Des Petits Ruminants (PPR) and Newcastle Disease (NCD).

He said the federal government had provided over 2,000,000 doses of the vaccines to support the six states in the North East Zone.

 The minister added that vaccination was vital in view of the fact that livestock production was a major means of livelihood in Nigeria, employing about 70 per cent of the country’s population.
