According to the World Health Organisation, countries in Africa have experienced a resurgence of measles, including outbreaks reported in at least 9 countries in the last 12 months.
Measles is a highly contagious disease that accounts for 13 percent of all vaccine-preventable deaths in children younger than five years in Africa.
This year, every state in Nigeria has recorded a case of measles, but Katsina, Borno and Yobe states take the lead in reported cases of measles.
Nigeria, however, has the most children unvaccinated and under-vaccinated against measles in the world with nearly four million children under one year missing out on the first dose of the vaccine against measles in 2017 alone.
