The virus is already practically endemic in Nigeria and we fear that other countries that don't have the budget, the human resources and the technical capacity adequate to eliminate the disease will face the( same) risk, in terms of food security and livelihoods it's a severe issue because it hampers people's efforts to progress economically.

If we don't act now we'll cry for generations because it will be very difficult, given the growth of the poultry industry in Africa, to control the disease.
