As the global community commemorates World Malaria Day 2025, Senator Prince Ned Munir Nwoko has renewed his call for urgent and united action to eradicate malaria in Nigeria and across the African continent.
Reflecting on the significance of the day, Senator Nwoko stated, “I am reminded of why I began the journey years ago to champion the eradication of malaria in Nigeria and across Africa. Malaria continues to kill our children, weaken our families, and slow down national productivity — yet it is preventable and curable. No child should die from a mosquito bite. No family should suffer the loss of a loved one from a disease we have the tools to defeat.”
This year’s theme, “Accelerating the Fight Against Malaria for a More Equitable World,” aligns with the senator’s long-standing advocacy. He emphasized that the fight against malaria requires collaborative effort, political will, and strategic investment. “As leaders, lawmakers, and citizens, we must act with urgency — by improving access to vaccines, supporting scientific research, promoting environmental sanitation, and investing in healthcare infrastructure,” he said.
Senator Nwoko also highlighted the strides made through the Prince Ned Nwoko Malaria Eradication Project, reaffirming his dedication to achieving a malaria-free Nigeria. “We must move beyond talk — it’s time for decisive action,” he declared.
In a passionate appeal, he called on fellow lawmakers, development partners, and citizens to stand together in the fight against malaria. “Let us end malaria in our lifetime,” he urged.
God bless Delta North.
God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
