Lagos State sets to vaccinate 1.5 million dogs for free

The Lagos State Government says it will vaccinate no fewer than 1.5 million dogs within the next two weeks.

The government on Tuesday said the exercise will take place during the free anti-rabies vaccination campaign embarked upon to prevent deaths of animals in the state.

Ms. Abisola Olusanya, the State Commissioner for Agriculture, made this known at the inauguration of the vaccination campaign held at the palace of Oba Ayangburen of Ikorodu in the Ikorodu area of the state.

The commissioner urged pet owners to bring their dogs for the exercise, noting that the government has made the exercise free of charge for the citizenry.
