The Wife of Nigeria’s President, Oluremi Tinubu has expressed her unwavering commitment to the fight against tuberculosis.
She made this known on Wednesday at a side event of the United Nations General Assembly, organised by a non-governmental organisation, Stop TB Partnership.
The First Lady expressed optimism that with concerted effort, tuberculosis can become a thing of the past.
Mrs Tinubu, who decried the high burden of TB in Nigeria which is one of the highest in the world, pointed out sadly that countless lives are affected, and about 125,000 lives are lost annually.
Also speaking, the Executive Director Stop TB Partnership, Dr Lucica Ditiu urged all those present to build on each other’s strengths as individual countries to fight TB.
