Coker stated that the state’s epidemiology unit is on high alert to handle the outbreak.

Coker also explained that the first two cases were reported on June 12, 2024, and both were treated at the State Hospital in Ota. These patients had traveled from Lagos, where cholera is widespread, a day before showing symptoms.

Also noted was that “cholera test kits and other consumables needed for treatment have been distributed to all LGAs and designated treatment centres to ensure prompt diagnosis and treatment. The treatment of Cholera is free across all government facilities in Ogun State.”

The movement of people from Lagos, which is the centre of the outbreak, has contributed to the spread in border LGAs of Ogun State.

Currently, cholera vaccines are not available in the state, so citizens are urged to follow safety measures to prevent the disease.

At the briefing, Commissioner for Environment Ola Oresanya noted that over 60 public toilets have been built across the state to reduce open defecation.

Waste management and water channel monitoring in crowded areas have also been improved.

Commissioner for Education, Abayomi Arigbagbu, represented by Oluwole Majekodunmi, advised schools to serve hygienic food and teach students about proper hygiene and regular handwashing.
