Ending tuberculosis in Nigeria my priority – First Lady Oluremi Tinubu
Nigeria’s First Lady Oluremi Tinubu has reiterated her commitment to sustaining the fight against Tuberculosis (TB) in the country.
She made this known at United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) side event by Stop TB Partnership.
“Today, I bring a message of hope and determination. We have the tools, the knowledge, and the expertise to end TB and AMR by 2030. Addressing TB and AMR together is not just the smart way—it is the best and only way,” she stated.
The First Lady who decried the high burden of TB in Nigeria which is one of the highest in the world, pointed out that countless lives are affected, with about 125,000 lives lost.
“TB does not discriminate; it affects men, women, and children, cutting across all social and economic backgrounds, with the poor being the most vulnerable.
“As a Global and National Stop TB Champion, advocating for joint efforts on addressing TB and AMR is crucial.
“Tuberculosis is a disease that has plagued our communities for so long and the response to the disease has experienced AMR in all its dimensions. Despite substantial progress in the fight against TB, Drug-Resistant TB has been a challenge for decades and presently still remains a major cause for concern.
“Due to its airborne nature of spread, it is today a threat to global health security.
“Therefore, I call upon all stakeholders to develop innovative approaches to fight both TB and AMR in a strategic and integrated manner. Our methods must include preventing new infections, improving awareness, education on the dangers of Drug-Resistant TB, and promoting the appropriate use of antibiotics. We must also prioritize research in order to develop new tools, treatments and new vaccines that can outpace the evolving threat of AMR,” she said.
Earlier in her remarks, Executive Director Stop TB Partnership, Dr Lucica Ditiu urged all those present to build on each other’s strengths as individual countries to fight TB.
“We are struggling but we are still making significant impact with amazing results.”
The event which had in attendance wives of the Kwara and Imo State governors, Amb Dr. Olufolake Abdulrazaq and Barr. Chioma Uzodinma, Coordinating Minister for Health and Social Welfare, Prof. Ali Pate and ministers from other countries, had as its theme, ‘Breaking the Resistance: Fighting AMR and TB together for a Healthy Future’.

Oyedepo: I’ve no other church – Retired Bishop Aremu opens up
Former Vice President of Living Faith Church, Bishop Thomas Aremu has declared that despite his retirement, he would remain a member of the church.
This is coming amid speculations that the two former vice presidents, Aremu and David Abioye whose retirements were recently approved by the founder of the church, Bishop David Oyedepo may dump Living Faith for their own ministries.
Clearing the air, Bishop Aremu, who spoke on Tuesday during his valedictory service at the Winners Chapel, Orita Bashorun, Oyo State on Tuesday, said he does not intend to have a church.
He, however, said he may be teaching in other churches, but stressed that his teachings will always be in line with Living Faith doctrines.
He said, “I do not have a church and I cannot have a church because God has not infused me with the capacity to do so. This is my church.
“Even after retirement, I shall remain in the Winners family. I may be privileged to bless other churches that are not winners but there is nothing I’m going to teach them than what I have learned in Winners”.
