Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) aim to create opportunities for those who lack them because talent is universal, but opportunity is not. Therefore, DEI is not about giving unfair advantages to some; it's about establishing a level playing field for everyone. #DEI

[Chikwe Ihekweazu @Chikwe_I]

A warm welcome home to #Nigeria by a beautiful young lady. I asked her her name, and she confidently replied..."Chimamanda".

We will not fail you her. Tomorrow, we start pushing.

[Chikwe Ihekweazu @Chikwe_I]

An exciting first week as @WHOAFRO Acting Regional Director!

My top priority is supporting our Member States in driving our shared vision for a healthier, #FutureReady Africa.

With a dedicated and determined team, I’m confident we will make a lasting impact

Thank you @DrTedros for this breakthrough. We are grateful to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for the new funding, which will help accelerate the work to #EndPolio. Today we are also excited about the accreditation of the polio lab in Ibadan Oyo State in 🇳🇬 as poliovirus sequencing, underscoring the laboratory’s capacity to conduct genomic sequencing of poliovirus, and further strengthening Nigeria’s surveillance and outbreak response capabilities. This is much needed step as Nigeria looks forward to hosting the @EndPolioNow Oversight Board Meeting to discuss efforts needed to halt circulation of cVPV2 in Nigeria. @Chikwe_I @gatesfoundation @Rotary @UNICEF_Nigeria @WHONigeria @NphcdaNG @NCDCgov @Fmohnigeria

5 years ago, I was 110kg and with a blood pressure of 180/110mmHg on a random day.

This is me now, I feel better, look better, my blood pressure is normal and it took changing my lifestyle and being consistent.

You can do it too.

[Adar Poonawalla @adarpoonawalla]

I am pleased to announce that the WHO has recommended the R21/Matrix-M™️ Malaria vaccine. The efforts of @SerumInstIndia and @UniOfOxford have come to fruition. This will save thousands of lives, and bridge the gap between the demand and supply of vaccines against Malaria.

On the 84 Multidisciplinary #AVoHC-SURGE responders trained in Nigeria and ready to be deployed within 24 to 48 hours, over 45% were female, marking a deliberate intent to assert our commitment to women empowerment and gender equality in all our operations as we roll out implementation of the SURGE Flagship roadmap in Nigeria, which includes expansion to six pilot states. Lessons learned from the first phase are now being used to inform scoping missions and step down training, a much needed milestone in a country-continent. The initiative which is contributing to the Nigeria Health Sector Renewal Investment Initiative and the Compact we signed with the Government alongside other development partners, is being spearheaded by @NCDCgov as the National Secretariat working closed with the @WHONigeria National Coordinator, making it a nationally owned endeavor and implemented with support from the Regional Office, in collaboration with @AfricaCDC and other #GHSA partners. I applaud the dedication of all our national colleagues involved, especially the leadership exemplified by our female colleagues who are playing a critical role in this initiative @UN_Nigeria @Fmohnigeria @NCDCgov @WHONigeria @DrTedros @MoetiTshidi @USAIDNigeria @USCDCNIGERIA @UKHSA @ResolveTSL @NphcdaNG @NafdacAgency @nemanigeria @nighealthwatch @NGFSecretariat

Dozens of civilians were killed or injured in 📍#Kharkiv and 📍#Odesa today.

Scores more were affected over the weekend, including children.

Daily hostilities continue to bring suffering and destruction to people in #Ukraine.

Civilians must be protected. They are #NotATarget.

On behalf of @WHONigeria I express my sincere condolences to H.E. @uanamadi Executive Governor of Jigawa State and his good people for the untimely death of many following the tanker explosion. I pray God will protect those injured and those left behind. I applaud the swift action by the state government and my @WHONigeria Jigawa colleagues who were among the first responders as the tragedy hit. We stand ready to continue our support in this time of sorrow

[W. Kazadi Mulombo @WMulombo]

A wonderful time yesterday as I reconnected with all my colleagues during the October town hall meeting after my annual leave. We @WHONigeria had the opportunity to welcome our colleagues from the Regional Office on mission to discuss the impact of the introduction of Deputy Head of Country Office Position in three pilot countries including 🇳🇬. We also provided critical updates to all staff on strategic engagements, including our engagements with the Northern Traditional Leaders Committee #PHC delivery systems, routine immunization and polio eradication; the Association of LGA Chairmen; our support in response to flooding and other graded emergencies and humanitarian crisis. In addition we discussed outcomes of the @WHOAFRO Polio Outbreak Response Group Meeting hosted by @NphcdaNG as well as Accountability issues affecting our program delivery, including the polio program. Very cordial encounter and I would like to thank my colleagues for the openness of our discussions, and most importantly for welcoming me back warmly.

[Jennifer Adaeze @Gennytimah]

@DanNwomeh @PNMbah I didn't see Nomeh Unataeze in the prototype. Does the type 2 PHC project cover Nkanu Easl LGA's? Are they situated in rural, semi-urban, or urban cities?

[Jennifer Adaeze @Gennytimah]

@DanNwomeh @PNMbah I'm curious to know if a scoping and needs assessment was done so as to map out the locations where these hospitals would be built. Is at a hub and spoke method. Can we have a list of the communities that will benefit from this project? Nomen Unataeze needs one.

[Jennifer Adaeze @Gennytimah]

@Tunde_OD Happy merriest birthday.

[WHO Nigeria @WHONigeria]

The @WHONigeria Country Rep @WMulombo in company @OCHANigeria arrived Maiduguri today to commiserate with the government and people affected by the devastating flood.

[W. Kazadi Mulombo @WMulombo]

Our first stop was the Ministry of Reconstruction, Rehabilitation & Resettlement @BornoGovt I met with the Permanent Secretary and his team, @OCHANigeria @unhcrnigeria @IOM_Nigeria @UNICEF_Nigeria @WFP_Nigeria and @WHONigeria
We had opportunity to be briefing first hand on ongoing response and needs. I congratulate HE @ProfZulum @GovBorno on his leadership in mounting a remarkable emergency response to rescue affected communities. We are committed to play our part to complement his efforts as affected communities recover from the flooding incident that cut off over 60% of the Maiduguri city @DrTedros @MoetiTshidi @Fmohnigeria @fema @NCDCgov @NphcdaNG
