The Nigeria Centre for Disease Control and Prevention has issued a public health advisory on Chikungunya, a mosquito-borne viral disease currently spreading across multiple countries.

The health agency also advised Nigerians to remain vigilant despite no confirmed cases in the country this year.

The advisory, issued on Friday via the agency’s X handle, followed reports from the World Health Organisation and the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control indicating that more than 240,000 cases and 90 deaths have been recorded in at least 16 countries in 2025.

China alone has reported nearly 5,000 cases since July, with Guangdong Province accounting for about 3,000 cases in one week.
