Today, we received a delegation from Utopia, an Egyptian pharmaceutical company, led by Dr. Kamel Mohamed and facilitated by Eze Apostle Gift Chibuzor Chinyere.

I am excited about their proposal to establish a drug manufacturing plant in Abia State. Beyond selling products, this is about production, job creation, technology transfer, and boosting our State’s GDP.

As a government, we are committed to supporting this investment. Land will be provided, and we encourage consideration of the Ukwa or Osisioma axis, where steady power supply from Geometric Power is available.

This partnership has the potential to make Abia a hub for advanced pharmaceutical technology in Nigeria and West Africa. Our administration will give every necessary support to ensure its success.

Yesterday, I received Master Michael Offorkaile, an illustrious son of Abia State, who scored an outstanding 367 in the 2026 JAMB/UTME examinations, placing him among the joint 5th highest scorers nationwide.

Accompanied by his parents and the management of his school, Grundtvig International Secondary School, Oba, Anambra State, he visited my office where I congratulated him on this remarkable achievement. As a government built on meritocracy, we celebrate excellence wherever it is found, and his feat is a shining example of what our youths can achieve.

I have directed the Honourable Commissioner for Tertiary Education, Prof (Mrs.) Uche Eme Uche, to work out the details of the State’s support for his academic journey, while my Senior Special Assistant on Public Communication, Dodoh Okafor, will liaise with the family to ensure smooth coordination.

Michael's recognition is not only to celebrate him but also to inspire other young Abians and Nigerians to strive for excellence, knowing that their hard work will be honoured.

His journey towards higher education has just begun, and we are confident that he will strive for excellence and bring even greater pride to Abia State and Nigeria. As a government, we stand firmly behind him and will provide the necessary support to ensure his success.

Congratulations once again, Michael!

#Hantavirus update:
- The number of cases reported to @WHO remains 13. There have been no new cases reported for almost three weeks.

The overall situation remains stable.

WHO has released its first-ever set of comprehensive guidelines for the clinical management of filovirus disease which include all Ebola and Marburg diseases.

Ebola disease, and Marburg disease are serious, and often fatal. There have been 72 outbreaks of Ebola and Marburg diseases reported in Africa since 1967, when Marburg virus was first discovered.

These guidelines translate lessons learned from recent disease outbreaks into evidence-based, clinical recommendations to improve patient survival and outcomes.

As part of the #Ebola response in Ituri Province, DRC, @WHO is strengthening the Ebola Treatment Centre by expanding isolation capacity for suspected cases.

The upgrades include the construction of individual isolation rooms that meet infection prevention and control standards, as well as the installation of a 10,000-litre water tank to ensure reliable water supply for patient care and facility operations.

These investments help provide safer patient care while reducing the risk of transmission within health facilities.

My thanks to @_AfricanUnion Chairperson, President of #Burundi @GeneralNeva, for convening a high-level meeting of Heads of State and Government on the #Ebola Bundibugyo outbreak response, which mobilised $910 million in pledges.

Here are the seven priorities that came out of the Summit:

1. The response must be African-led, with the affected countries in the driver’s seat, supported by partners based on the principle of one plan, one budget, one team.

2. The Summit has endorsed the continued collaboration between @WHO and @AfricaCDC, under the joint Incident Management Support Team and the Joint Continental Preparedness and Response Plan.

3. While we invest in fighting Ebola, we must invest in strengthening essential health systems and services, and in addressing the wider humanitarian emergency in Ituri, #DRC.

4. We continue to call for countries that have imposed blanket travel restrictions to lift them.

5. We must continue building national and regional capacity to produce vaccines, therapeutics and other medical products.

6. We ask the armed groups to agree to a ceasefire until the outbreak is over. This Summit has called for the urgent establishment of humanitarian access corridors to ensure safe access for authorities and partners to North Kivu, South Kivu and other high-risk areas.

7. As we work to stop this outbreak, we must start work now to prevent the next one, by addressing the root causes.

[Prof. Mohamed Janabi @ProfJanabi]

Trust in public health measures is essential in every outbreak response.

By engaging communities and addressing concerns, risk communication and community engagement teams help ensure that lifesaving measures to prevent and control #Ebola are understood, accepted and acted upon.

Eritrea's commitment to strengthening primary health care, empowering community health workers, including barefoot doctors, and expanding local production of essential medicines is helping to build a stronger and more resilient health system.

@WHO will continue to work closely with the government to improve access to quality health services and advance #HealthForAll in Eritrea.
