Mrs. Tinubu made this call in in her remarks commemorating the World Tuberculosis Day yesterday. She wrote: “Today, on World Tuberculosis Day 2025, I join the global community in reaffirming our commitment to ending one of the world’s deadliest infectious diseases, Tuberculosis (TB).

“Under this year’s theme, “Yes! We Can End TB: Commit, Invest, Deliver,” we are reminded that winning the fight against TB is possible when we unite our efforts, invest in proven solutions, and ensure the delivery of life-saving interventions to all who need them.

“As the National and Global Stop TB Champion, I take this responsibility with deep personal commitment. “The fight against TB is not just a policy issue, it is personal, I have felt the pain of the loss of a friend.

“This is just a painful reminder that TB remains a major health threat, especially when it goes undiagnosed and untreated. “We must not allow more lives to be lost to a disease that is both preventable and curable.
