SUBJECT: NIGERIA: AVIAN FLU UPDATE 
 
1. Summary: Results are awaited from several recent 
suspected outbreaks in the commercial poultry producing 
Southwest states of Ogun and Lagos. Field teams are visiting 
the affected areas. UNICEF has placed four consultants at in 
state capitals to work on state level communications plans, 
and PACE has prepared pictorial posters describing AI 
symptoms. UNDP has released two reports from consultants; 
one on improving governance in Nigeria's AI response, and 
one looking at the socio-economic impact of the outbreak. 
End Summary. 
 
Possible New Outbreaks 
---------------------- 
 
2. There have been suspicious outbreaks in Ijebu-Ode and 
Ijebu-East in Ogun State and in Ojo, Egbeda and Badagry 
areas in Lagos State. FAO and the Joint Crisis Management 
Unit are sending teams to investigate. Samples have been 
sent to the National Veterinary Laboratory in Vom, but no 
results have yet been reported. According to press reports, 
two of 150 farms in the Ayedeto Farm Settlement in Ojo, 
Lagos State experienced mass die-offs, with deaths numbering 
in the thousands. Other farmers in the settlement 
immediately began dumping their poultry on the market at a 
discount. This went on for several days before State 
agricultural officials arrived and put a stop to it, 
reportedly removing the remaining birds and increasing 
security at the settlement. 
 
Communications Campaign 
----------------------- 
 
3. UNICEF has recruited four consultants to work in field 
offices in Kaduna, Lagos, Bauchi and Enugu to help states 
develop and implement communications plans. Work is most 
advanced in Kaduna where the State AI committee has begun to 
meet on communications issues. UNICEF has proposed that the 
Federal Ministry of Information delegate some fulltime staff 
entirely to AI, instead of rotating staff through on an ad 
hoc basis.  The EC's PACE organization has developed 
pictorial materials that portray the symptoms of bird flu, 
which have been distributed in some states. 
 
Socio-Economic Impact Report 
---------------------------- 
 
4.  UNDP presented a draft report on July 24 on the Socio- 
Economic Impact of Avian Influenza in Nigeria. The report 
found that many small and medium scale farmers who lost 
their flocks were unable to restock and stopped raising 
poultry.  Many laborers employed on poultry farms lost their 
jobs. Non-infected farms experienced an average 45% 
reduction in the size of their flocks. Compensation, set at 
only about 25-33% of the market price, was inadequate to 
cover losses, but government policy to pay only for birds 
culled and not for birds which died of flu caused the most 
hardship. If restocking was not managed carefully further 
problems could ensue. Ancillary businesses such as feed 
suppliers and retailers also were affected. The report 
recommends improved compensation policy, a poultry census, 
careful management of a restocking program, and a clear 
vaccine policy. 
 
Governance Report 
----------------- 
 
5. UNDP presented a brief overview of a consultants' report 
and recommendations on "Enhancing the Governance of 
Nigeria's Response to AI." The report noted weakness in 
animal and human surveillance, compensation, depopulation, 
public information, and restriction on bird movements. It 
noted the structures that had emerged such as the National 
Technical Committee on AI, but noted that surveillance and 
reporting at the state and local level was still a problem. 
While the response had been swift, institutional capacity 
was weak, and the problems were compounded by the 
perception, even among top officials that the epidemic was 
over. The report recommended steps to educate a broad range 
of officials and technical specialists, efforts to engage 
NGOs and civil society, and focusing more effort at the 
state level.
