Management concerns, such as local government health officers and community development officers, should increase the sensitization of slaughterhouse workers by organizing conferences or conducting radio talk to educates these slaughterhouses workers on the treatment of slaughterhouses wastewater and health risk associated with antimicrobial-drug resistance transferred from animals to humans.

The outbreak was the largest caused by NmC documented in Nigeria and more than 222,000 targeted individuals were vaccinated relatively early in the outbreak (administrative coverage estimates 98% and 89% in Kebbi and Sokoto, respectively).

Use of the available vaccines against meningitis due to N. meningitidis, S. pneumoniae, and Hib could prevent substantial endemic illness and deaths in sub-Saharan Africa, and potentially prevent recurrent meningococcal epidemics.

Evidence that the relationship between the environment and the location of these epidemics is quantifiable is presented and a model based on environmental variables is proposed to identify regions at risk for meningitis epidemics to provide a basis for monitoring the impact of climate variability and environmental change in Africa.
