Is Nigeria the World's Most Difficult Place to End Polio?

Bill Gates, the co-founder of Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, has said Nigeria is one of the countries where polio is most difficult to eradicate in the world - but stated that a polio-free Nigeria is achievable if the right steps and approaches are applied and adhered to. Gates urged countries still battling the disease to learn from the experience of other countries who have succeeded in achieving the feat of a reliable primary healthcare system and standard quality education.
