It was a historic moment today as we flagged off the largest integrated health campaign ever undertaken on the African continent, bringing together measles and rubella vaccination, polio, HPV, malaria treatment, and interventions against neglected tropical diseases under one coordinated effort.
This is not just about vaccines; it is about reimagining how we deliver health, reaching people where they live, and restoring trust between citizens and their health system.
Under the leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, @officialABAT, health is being repositioned as a pillar of national development, healing the country, unifying communities, and inspiring new confidence in our collective capacity to do great things.
We salute Her Excellency, the First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, CON, @SenRemiTinubu, for her steadfast advocacy and personal investment of time, talent, and resources, which have helped vaccinate over 15 million adolescent girls against HPV and protect them for life from cervical cancer.
With this campaign, we aim to reach over 100 million Nigerian children with life-saving interventions, the largest such effort in our history.
This is what Renewed Hope looks like in action: one community outreach, multiple services delivered, and a stronger bond of confidence between Nigerians and their health system.
We thank @Muyi_Aina for his exceptional commitment, together with his team at @NphcdaNG, in ensuring that every community is reached and every child protected. Alongside our partners @WHO, @UNICEF, @gavi, @gatesfoundation, and our traditional and religious leaders, we will continue to build a healthier, more equitable, and more unified Nigeria.
Health for all Nigerians. Hope renewed. Progress is underway.

Kenya is set to host the East Africa Regional Centre of Excellence in Bioequivalence Studies and Pharmaceutical Research (EAC RCOEBPR)—the first institution in the EAC and COMESA regions dedicated to the synthesis of pharmaceutical raw materials and bioequivalence testing for generic medicines.
Approved during the 25th Ordinary Meeting of the East Africa Sectoral Council of Ministers of Health, the Centre will be hosted at the University of Nairobi.
