The Minister of Environment, Mohammed Abdullahi, made the call while commemorating 2022 World Mosquito Day, in Abuja.
The theme of the WMD was “Harnessing Innovation to Reduce the Disease Burden and Save Lives”.
Abdullahi also urged individuals, family and community members to imbibe the preventive measures by keeping waste materials and junks away from village squares.
According to him, Nigerians should ensure that their environment is clean and healthy, using wire mesh to reduce mosquito entry into living room and bedrooms.
The Minister of Health, Osagie Ehanire, said that the ministry placed a strong importance on interventions that would limit the vector-human contact towards protecting people from the diseases.
