Health advocate! Health systems expert. In 2021, ~5 million children died before their 5th birthday, we are here to change that! CCTs for RI.Tweet are Personal.
Money is important, for sure. But you don’t have to go crazy over it. The Almighty has written it down for you, there is no need for you to lie, cheat, deceive, resort to fraud practices, abuse the rights of others just to make some extra bucks. Greed doesn’t pay!.....menk
Today on #WorkersDay, I acknowledge the individuals who keep our health systems and programmes running, often under demanding conditions.
Progress in the health sector depends on people. No doubt about that. The frontline workers and field officers who deliver services,
the field teams who support communities daily, and the many others whose work turns policy into real and measurable results.
Supporting these systems means supporting the people within them through training, coordination, and conditions that allow them to do their work well.
Last week, we joined Niger State PHCA on a courtesy visit to His Royal Highness, the Emir of Minna, to strengthen collaboration on routine #immunization.
Our Operations Director, @baweedx, spoke with the Emirate Council on the role of traditional and religious leaders in addressing #vaccine misconceptions, improving clinic attendance, and reaching zero-dose children.
The Emir reaffirmed his commitment to promoting child #health and working with local leaders and imams to encourage timely immunization.
We're grateful for this partnership as we work to ensure every child has access to life-saving vaccines. #AllBabies
The U.S. decision to leave the WHO matters beyond diplomacy.
For countries like Nigeria and many low- and middle-income economies, global health coordination affects planning, standards, and system stability, not just funding. Strong health systems rely on cooperation.
Today is the #InternationalDayfortheEradicationofPoverty! New Incentives' All Babies Are Equal program seeks to address the limited access to health care experienced by people living in poverty in some of the most underserved and remote communities in northern Nigeria. By providing small cash disbursements to incentivize routine childhood immunizations, we make it easier for caregivers to bring their babies to public clinics for life-saving vaccinations. #EndPoverty https://t.co/wLTUjU9BBb
Just yesterday, Svetha Janumpalli, Founder and CEO of New Incentives, accepted the 2025 Park MahnHoon Award at a ceremony in South Korea. We are grateful to @IVIHeadquarters and SK bioscience for highlighting the impact of innovation—particularly the power and potential of demand-side incentives—to increase vaccination uptake among families who are disproportionately affected by disease and poverty.
As part of World Immunization Week (April 24 - 30), we're proud to feature a longtime staff member and leader who continues to inspire his colleagues to do whatever we can to protect babies from vaccine-preventable diseases in northern Nigeria. When Field Manager Ibrahim Umar nominated Operations Director Mubarak Bawa for the Staff Spotlight, he explained that Mubarak "makes the impossible move and carries everyone along." #HumanlyPossible #WorldImmunizationWeek
We had an engaging radio session with @baweedx (NI-ABAE) & Auwal Idris (Kano State PM SERICC) on #routineimmunization & caregiver support. Here are key takeaways:
✅ Beneficiaries shared how the #AllBabies program helped them complete immunization.
✅ Some listeners asked if caregivers vaccinate only for the incentives.
✅ The goal is improved child health, not just financial support.
The conversation isn’t over! How are you promoting #RoutineImmunization in your community? #NIOnAir #AllBabiesAreEqual
Join us on @ArewaRadio931 on Tuesday, February 11th, as our Operations Director, @baweedx, and the Program Manager for Kano SERICC, Auwalu Idris, discuss #routine#immunization and how the #AllBabiesAreEqual program is helping ensure every child gets vaccinated. Tune in and call to ask your questions!

1/5 We proudly participated in Kano State’s 2024 OBR3 campaign, launched in September, to strengthen immunization and fight the resurgence of poliovirus. Our Operations Director, @Baweedx, represented #NIABAE at the event. #PolioFreeNigeria@Kyusufabba@KNSMOH
Our new completion incentive of ₦5,000 will help Zulaiha Salihu scale up her business (she currently has ₦10,000 saved)! Zulaiha sells “wainar flawa” (bean flour fritter) to help support her family. Read: https://t.co/kY5AcktvdV
Our program saves lives by increasing vaccination rates in Nigeria. To attract more caregivers & encourage them to come to every childhood vaccination visit, we've added a bonus of ₦5,000, given upon completion of the immunization schedule. Learn more: https://t.co/kY5AcktvdV
Vaccine hesitancy and misinformation are challenges we face in northern Nigeria. In light of this reality, caregivers and government health workers like Hussaina and Abubakar can often be the best ambassadors for childhood immunizations and New Incentives' program.
@NewIncentives@misbahuelhamza@KadunaMOH@baweedx@nurabatsari The Operational Coordinator of @NewIncentives, Malam Mubarak Bawa @baweedx, thanked the Emir for his presence, support & blessings. He reiterated New Incentives' support to caregivers with the increment of Livelihood Grant and also thanked the State government for their support.
Dr. Rilwanu Mohammed received an Appreciation Award for his support of the All Babies program as the Executive Chairman of the Bauchi State Primary Health Care Board.
Great to see stakeholders in Kaduna State come together to recognize the work of boosting childhood vaccinations. Hearing directly from the ALGON Chairman and Kudan LGA Chair provided valuable insights on the community's strong commitment to this life-saving work.
We were proud to host the Kaduna State and LGA Awards recently in order to recognize and appreciate our partners' contributions, dedication, and commitment to increasing childhood vaccination rates and saving lives! 💉👶🏾
