Nigeria’s First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, says all efforts must be intensified to end AIDS by 2030 as the country joins the rest of the world to mark the 2025 World AIDS Day.

Mrs Tinubu made the statement in her message to mark the World AIDS Day.

She said, “today, on World AIDS Day 2025, with the theme: ‘Overcoming Disruptions; transforming the AIDS response,’ reminds us to revamp efforts in ending HIV/AIDS by 2030.

“Over the years, Nigeria has made remarkable progress in HIV prevention, treatment, and care, but our journey towards an AIDS free nation continues. Every Nigerian deserves access to life-saving services, free from stigma and discrimination.”

She urged the youth to always take care of her health and also know their status by availing themselves for voluntary tests to ascertain that.

“To our youth, take charge of your health, know your HIV status by getting tested and seek treatment if found positive,” the First Lady advised.

Mrs Tinubu also called on communities across the country to show love to people living with HIV instead of discriminating against them.

She said; “To our communities, I call on you to show compassion and support and say no to stigmatisation.

“Happy World AIDS Day 2025.”
