The WHO Coordinator in the state, Dr Nuhu Ningi, confirmed this in a statement on Friday in Yola.
Ningi said in the statement that Adamawa was free of Polio virus since 2009.
He noted the record of no polio outbreak was a commendable feat.
According to him, the absence of Polio in Adamawa was not a ``mere chance” as speculated in some quarters.
``It is very unfortunate to describe all efforts of government and partners fighting against polio in the state as 'mere chance occurrence'."
``This statement by the Zonal Coordinator is unfortunate and absurdly lack scientific base," Ningi said.
He lauded Adamawa for its effort to keep optimal activities to guard against virus re-infection in the state.
