Doctor Jide Idris, the Director-General of the NCDC, issued the warning at a media conference in Abuja.
Idris said that since June, the NCDC has been actively managing a cholera outbreak that has spread across thirty four states and the Federal Capital Territory, impacting one hundred and eighty seven Local Government Areas.
According to him, as of July 15, Nigeria has recorded three thousand, six hundred and twenty three suspected cholera cases and one hundred two point eight per cent.
He said that there was a slight decline in reported cases and fatalities in the past week, attributing the improvement to ongoing national and state-level efforts.
But he cautioned that the peak of the rainy season, which typically exacerbates cholera outbreaks, was still ahead.
