WORLD POLIO DAY 2022.

World Polio Day was established in 1985 by Rotary lnternational to commemorate the birth of Jonas Salk, who was the led medical researcher of the team that developed a vaccine against polio. He developed the inactivated polio virus vaccine, which first came into use in 1955. This was further developed as the oral polio vaccine by Albert Sabin, which cane into use in 1961. Today, the polio vaccines are recommended all over the world, particularly for children under the age of five, who are the most vulnerable to the infection. Every year on 24th October, World Polio Day is observed to raise awareness of the importance of polio vaccination to protect every child from this devastating disease, and to celebrate the many patents, professionals and volunteers whose contributions make polio eradication achievable. World Polio Day highlights the global efforts to end poliomyelitis (polio) worldwide. Polio is a life threatening disease caused by the polio virus. To ensure a polio free future for everyone, efforts must continue to maintain high immunization coverage, implement high quality surveillance to detect any presence of the virus, and prepare to respond in the event of an outbreak. The theme for this year's World Polio Day 2022 is: "A healthier future for mothers and children".

As the world marks today, the 11th day of october 2021 as the lnternational Day of the Girl Child, l join millions of well meaning people, social change makers and social advocates globally to celebrate this day and I wish every young girl out there the best life can offer, and success in their chosen endeavours and career paths. Today is a very significant day in the lives of every girl child around the world. As such l deem it fit to write about the girl child education in Nigeria.
