In wishing you many more years of life, I celebrate the fact that, like wine, you are getting better with age. We have a lot to thank you for. From putting us on the Nobel map, to getting FRSC up & running, and expanding the minds of our youth. We can never thank you enough. -AA

[Atiku Abubakar @atiku]

Happy 85th birthday Professor Oluwole Soyinka. I would have used the word icon to describe you, but you are beyond that. You are an institution. An institution of literary excellence and conscientious activism. A national treasure, you are Nigeria’s pride and a beacon to Africa.

[Muhammadu Buhari @MBuhari]

I spoke with Afenifere leader, Pa Reuben Fasoranti, to offer condolences on the death of his daughter. May the Almighty God comfort him and the entire family. The security agencies will ensure that the culprits are arrested and brought to justice.

As we commemorate World #NoTobaccoDay2019, we join our voice with the rest of the world to say #NoToTobacco!

[ABCHealth @abchealthafrica]

If anything will take your breath away, let it not be tobacco! #SayNoToTobacco #NoTobaccoDay2019

[Dr. Akinwumi A. Adesina, CON, CGH @akin_adesina]

As we celebrate Africa day today, I am determined more than ever to continue to accelerate Africa’s development. As long as God gives me breath, I will advance Africa’s aspirations, today and always! I am proudly African!😎💕

[WHO African Region @WHOAFRO]

Congratulations to #Algeria which was officially recognized by @WHO as malaria-free today during an event at the #WHA72. It's only the 2nd country in the @WHOAFRO region to be certified.

[ABCHealth @abchealthafrica]

With concerted effort, many more African countries can achieve #zeromalaria. Congrats #Algeria! #endmalaria #WHA72

[Dr Dípò Awójídé @OgbeniDipo]

Face your studies now that your parents are in their 40s and 50s, still very active and have some excess cash to spend. Use them to establish yourself. Get a second degree. Build a name for yourself. Build a brand too if you can. Take advantage of your privileges. Don’t waste it.

[Dr. Akinwumi A. Adesina, CON, CGH @akin_adesina]

With my dear friend ⁦@AlikoDangote⁩ at his office. He is one of the most humble people I have ever known. Even his office has no airs about it. Focussed, simple, pragmatic businessman and philanthropist. He is such a great pride to Nigeria and Africa. Keep it up! 👍🏼

[World Health Organization (WHO) @WHO]

Today is #WorldMalariaDay 🦟.

#Malaria still kills a child every two minutes. No child should die because they cannot access life-saving services to prevent, detect & treat the disease.

Zero malaria starts with me – are you ready to #EndMalaria?

[WHO African Region @WHOAFRO]

Today is #WorldMalariaDay! #Africa continues to account for about 90% of #malaria cases and deaths worldwide. Investing more in the development and deployment of a new generation of malaria tools is key to achieving the 2030 global malaria targets.

[Gayle Smith @GayleSmith]

In 2017, roughly 435,000 people died of malaria -- many of them in Africa. Programs like the @GlobalFund go a long way towards ending the scourge of malaria, yet some leaders are trying to slash these programs. We can’t let that happen. #WorldMalariaDay

[ABCHealth @abchealthafrica]

After years of steady decline, malaria is on the rise, this is unacceptable. We must step up efforts to end malaria now. #ZeroMalariaStartsWithMe #WorldMalariaDay

[ABCHealth @abchealthafrica]

In 2017, 92% of malaria cases and 93% of malaria deaths came from Africa. While there have been changes, there is more to be done. On this #WorldMalariaDay we add our voice to the call to #endmalaria now. #ZeroMalariaStartsWithMe
