Press Release
FG ACTIVATES EMERGENCY TASK FORCE TO RESPOND TO DIPHTHERIA OUTBREAK IN KATSINA, KANO
Abuja, Nigeria | 28 August 2026

The Federal Government has activated an emergency task force to contain the outbreak of diphtheria among children in parts of Katsina and Kano States, with immediate measures being deployed to strengthen surveillance, close immunisation gaps and ensure timely access to treatment.

The directive was issued by the Coordinating Minister of Health and Social Welfare, Prof. Muhammad Ali Pate, as part of the Federal Government’s continuing commitment to protect the health of Nigerian children and strengthen the country’s capacity to prevent and respond to disease outbreaks.

The Federal Ministry of Health and Social Welfare, working with the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (NCDC), the National Primary Health Care Development Agency (NPHCDA), affected state governments and international health partners, has constituted a multi-agency task force to coordinate the response.

The task force will be co-chaired by the Director-General of NCDC and the Director of Public Health, with membership drawn from NPHCDA; the Honourable Commissioners for Health of Katsina, Kano, Zamfara and Sokoto States; the World Health Organisation (WHO); UNICEF; and the National Tuberculosis and Leprosy Control Programme in Katsina State. The Ministry’s Chief Epidemiologist will serve as Secretary.

The task force has been directed to act immediately on three fronts:
•Outbreak containment and immunisation: Conduct outbreak investigations, strengthen disease surveillance and intensify community sensitisation to close population immunity gaps through the immunisation of unvaccinated children. As part of the immediate response, NPHCDA has deployed 500,000 doses of vaccines to Katsina and Kano States to support intensified immunisation activities in affected and at-risk communities.

•Expanded access to treatment: Work with the Katsina State Government to establish treatment annexes in hospitals across the state’s three senatorial districts — Katsina, Daura and Funtua — to bring care closer to affected communities and facilitate early intervention.

•Emergency support for referral care: Mobilise urgent support to the Federal Teaching Hospital, Katsina, the principal referral centre for the state and parts of neighbouring states, including Diphtheria Antitoxin (DAT), intravenous antibiotics, additional clinical personnel and personal protective equipment (PPE).

The task force will provide weekly updates to the Coordinating Minister on progress, emerging challenges and additional requirements, with identified bottlenecks escalated for immediate resolution.
The Federal Government reaffirms its resolve to protect Nigerian children from vaccine-preventable diseases and remains committed to a swift, coordinated and evidence-based response to bring the outbreak under control.

The Hausa people are great pillars that play a vital role in the unity and progress of Nigeria.
The Hausa language, without doubt, has flourished and has become a major language of unity and commerce across the world.

I congratulate the vast Hausa community on the occasion of Hausa Day, which is being celebrated at the historic Daura Palace today.

[Gbotemi @confindence24]

Gbajabiamila’s point in this video was simple: Tinubu could have avoided reforms, deceived Nigerians and stayed popular for 8 years.

Instead, he chose to do the hard things, even if they made him unpopular.

He would rather be hated for doing good than loved for doing bad.

Atiku is old and fable, what he need is rest, we don't need a senile old man.

I have been called names because of what I said about my former vice president. Those things that I have said about Atiku Abubakar, I stand firmly by them because, to my knowledge, they are true.

Protecting people from Sexual Exploitation, Abuse and Harassment (SEAH) requires strong systems, skilled responders, and an unwavering commitment to victim dignity. As part of efforts to strengthen prevention, preparedness, and response across the United Nations system in Nigeria, the UN Victim Assistance Protocol Training will equip 44 frontline responders and focal persons across 10 states in 5 geopolitical zones with the knowledge, tools, and victim-centred approaches needed to provide timely, coordinated, and effective support to all victims.

Every Victim deserves access to safe, confidential, and quality support services. By strengthening the capacity of the interagency PSEAH Network personnel, updating referral pathways, and enhancing coordination. This training will help build a more accountable, responsive, and survivor-centred framework for addressing SEAH and related forms of sexual violence across Nigeria.

[City Boy Movement @CityBoyMedia]

The City Boy Movement has received with sadness the news of the passing of veteran actor and filmmaker, Alhaji Taiwo Hassan, popularly known as Ogogo, who died on Sunday at the age of 66.

For more than four decades, Ogogo was one of the defining faces of Yoruba cinema. Through hundreds of performances, he entertained generations of Nigerians while helping to carry our language, humour, traditions and stories from local stages and screens into homes across Nigeria and beyond.

His passing is a painful loss to his family, the creative industry, the people of Ilaro and Ogun State, and millions of Nigerians who grew up watching and admiring his work.

The City Boy Movement extends its heartfelt condolences to his family, friends, colleagues and the entire Nigerian film community at this difficult time.

We honour a man who gave much of his life to his craft and leaves behind a body of work that will keep his memory alive for generations.

May Almighty Allah forgive his shortcomings, grant Alhaji Taiwo Hassan Al-Jannah Firdaus, and give his family the strength to bear this loss.

“You gave me the mandate. Now let me govern.”

~ President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

The subsidy debate should not be reduced to slogans. For years we poured money into cheap petrol and still got scarcity, endless queues, struggling businesses, and government debt. Everyone wants affordable energy. The real question is whether going back to a system that burned public funds without fixing the fundamentals is the answer. Nigeria needs lasting solutions not temporary relief that becomes a bigger burden later. What problem are we actually trying to solve?

Dear online nonentities,

You cannot criticize @OfficialAPCNg and @officialABAT for preparing for the 2027 election. The APC is a serious political party, not one whose presidential candidates are followed around by hoodlum-looking content creators.

APC is not another arm of government. Political parties have budgets for their campaign expenses and it has nothing to do with the national budgets

Campaign buses are campaign expenses, not government assets, and a political party’s campaign spending cannot simply be equated with the Federal Government’s budget for public healthcare.

Please be guided. Ori wa ko ni buru oooo!

For us to achieve all those beautiful results, we shall all vote for him again in 2027 🫡

We pretend as if we are not
feeling the positive impacts of Tinubu reforms by
closing our eyes to facts.

Food inflation has drastically reduced under the
TINUBU led administration, imagine this size of
Cassava that use to go for 500k now being sold for
30k.
