National Orientation Agency in Akwa Ibom State has begun to educate people on the prevalence and prevention of the mpox disease in the state.

The Agency’s fear came as a report from the State Ministry of Health indicated that Akwa Ibom recorded eight mpox cases, noting that staff had been dispatched to the affected councils since last week after receiving instructions.

The agency’s Coordinator in the state, MKPOUTOM MKPOUTOM, stated this, while interacting with newsmen on the activities of the agency, in Uyo.
