Abstract: The Nigeria Governors' Forum (NGF), in collaboration with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, announced an 'Immunization Leadership Challenge' in September 2011 to stimulate the increased awareness and involvement of State Governors in polio eradication efforts. The overall objective of this Challenge is to fast track achievement of the global milestone of interrupting further transmission of the wild polio virus in Nigeria. The programme will recognise those Executive Governors whose states pass a pre-defined threshold to improve routine immunisation coverage and end polio. The states that meet the threshold criteria will be awarded a US$500,000 grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to support their top health priorities.
