Akwa Ibom Reports Six Mpox Cases Linked to One Household, Launches Awareness Campaign

The National Orientation Agency (NOA) in Akwa Ibom State has confirmed that six cases of Mpox have been traced to a single household. In response, the state government is initiating a sensitization campaign to raise awareness about the prevalence and prevention of Mpox.

Recent reports from the Ministry of Health indicate that Akwa Ibom has recorded a total of eight Mpox cases during this outbreak. Mr. Mkpoutom Mkpoutom, the NOA coordinator in the state, revealed that the six individuals were initially affected in Onna Local Government Area before migrating to Uyo, the state capital, for unspecified reasons.

“In Onna LGA, six people were afflicted in one household, and unfortunately, they moved to Uyo before the Nigeria Center for Disease Control (NCDC) could trace them,” Mkpoutom explained. “This migration has contributed to Uyo becoming the second most affected area.”

Mkpoutom stated that agency staff have been deployed to the affected councils since last week following directives from the state Ministry of Health. “Currently, Akwa Ibom has the highest number of Mpox cases in Nigeria. My team has been actively engaging in fieldwork since we received instructions from the ministry in collaboration with state health authorities.”

He highlighted that at least ten local government areas are significantly impacted, with Uyo, Onna, Mkpat Enin, and Ikot Ekpene being among the most affected. “For now, Akwa Ibom ranks high in Mpox cases across the country,” he added.

Mkpoutom emphasized the importance of community involvement, urging residents to report any suspected cases to the nearest medical facilities for prompt treatment.
