FILE: Nigeria nearing six months without single polio case Nigeria was on Tuesday awarded $8.1 million in funding for a final push to eradicate polio, as it nears six months without a case of the disease. To illustrate the story, we are refiling the following report from October 2013:Nigeria remains the only African country where the polio virus is endemic. Ignorance, religious opposition to vaccination and a volatile security situation have meant that stamping out the potentially debilitating virus has been difficult. Yet health workers feel they are making progress and that with the help of mobile tracking technology and local community volunteers, they can help eradicate polio for good.
