Commending the commitment of the UN System for its various humanitarian and policy initiatives, Dr. Masha noted that the World Bank organised a workshop towards developing a strategic plan which will assist the Federal Government to effectively articulate and implement its programmes for the North East.
 
Also, the World Bank and the Federal Ministry of Health are to collaborate with the military and civilian Joint Task Force (CJTF) to vaccinate children in all accessible LGAs in Borno State in support of government’s Polio Response Plan.
