Polio, as the country is set to be removed from the list of polio endemic
countries.
The announcement by the World Health Organization, is
expected at a meeting of the Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI) in New

It follows Nigeria going more than a year without a case of
wild - naturally occurring - polio. Three years without cases are required
before it can be declared polio free.
