At adoption of post-2015 Devpt Agenda, Buhari urges world leaders to eliminate illiteracy, hunger & disease BY 2030


STATEMENT BY: H.E. MUHAMMADU BUHARI PRESIDENT OF THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA AT THE 70TH UNITED NATIONS GENERAL ASSEMBLY UNITED NATIONS HEADQUATERS, NEW YORK ON 25TH, SEPTEMBER 2015

Excellencies, Ladies and Gentlemen, I welcome you to this important event. Let me express Nigeria's sincere appreciation to UN-AIDS for the support and collaboration in organizing this event.

2. We are on the threshold of history as world leaders adopt the successor development agenda to the Millennium Development Goals. For over 30 years, HIV as a public health challenge has been causing havoc and untold hardship in virtually every part of the world. To date, several million children have been orphaned and some communities have been devastated, while economic activities have been disrupted.

3. Unfortunately, Sub -Saharan Africa bears a disproportionate burden of this epidemic. The good news is that the effort of the global community has resulted in greater control, less spread and better management.

4. Furthermore, we have made significant progress towards the interception of mother to child transmission of HIV. In 2014 alone, over 3million pregnant women were tested for HIV and 63,000 of these tested women, accessed anti - retroviral therapy. Excellencies, Ladies and Gentlemen,

5. What is required in our continued fight against HIV/AIDS is improved health delivery system, education, and cheaper production of anti - retroviral drugs through technology exchange. Our countries should also look at the whole field of medicare and strengthen our partnership with all stakeholders including the civil society, inter- faith and cultural bodies for education and dissemination of information at all levels. Nigeria will also like to call upon all pharmaceutical companies for more cooperation and understanding in reducing the cost of anti - retroviral drugs through production of generic items. Excellencies, Distinguished Delegates.

6. Nigeria will continue to work with development partners and key stakeholders to strengthen the means of implementation of the SDGs as elaborated in the Post- 2015 Development Agenda. At the continental level, Nigeria remains fully committed to the outcome of the Abuja process as evident in the 2002 Declaration, the Action Framework on Roll – Back Malaria. In addition, the 2013 Abuja + 12 Declaration is a strong commitment towards eliminating HIV and AIDs in Africa by 2030. Globally, the United Nations Political Declaration on HIV and AIDS of 2011 is a major reference point for intensifying efforts to eliminate the epidemic.

7. Nigeria appreciates the support of our development partners for their support and commitment to the total eradication of HIV/AIDs, Tuberculosis and Malaria as well as other deadly communicable diseases, for example Ebola, when an epidemic arises.

8. I therefore encourage you to continue in your efforts to sustain the fight against infant and maternal deaths, HIV and AIDs, Tuberculosis, Malaria and other communicable diseases, high on the global development agenda.

9. Let us work together to make HIV and AIDs history by 2030.

10. I thank you.

Just Look At The Way The World Leaders Are Glued To Their Seats Listening To The Best President Of Nigeria...

Meanwhile, does anyone here still remember the last time, Our Former President Jonadafft addressed the same assembly? Here is the picture! No one wants to listen to a clueless and complete corrupt idiot of a President..smh!

He even went and hid in the toilet to avoid addressing the Assembly, but was forced out by the security men attached to the buliding

We have seen the pictures na ..

You matter to me my friend.....

It hurts me to see a fellow Nigerian wasting away because of hate and prejudice

I know some will still come here to complain about the pictures. Let me help you out if you belong to that category.

As a matter of fact, Nigeria of today is not the same as the one of 2 to 10 years ago. As at last month, we were told by NCC that over 63million people access the internet via mobile devices. This will tell you that the situation has changed. In the days of yore, you'll know a journalist by the recorder/shorthand note s/he carried around important dignitaries. But today, what do you see, a reporter using his mobile phone to take pictures and to record interviews. So, wake up, my friend, this is a digital age. A new era. Photography has evolved as you can take a very beautiful picture with a mobile phone with a higher MP (megapixel).

The short and long of my story is that, the pictures are just necessities of the moment. Once you have a phone, you can take a very good picture - even from a distance. So please, spare our President, he didn't ask the people to take his pictures. You can direct your complaints to those who are fond of taking his pictures.

All the leaders in the audience have on their ear piece to listen to English translation of his English..lool

You're so compassionate........trying so hard to educate folks who are almost impervious to learning.

Thumbs up bro

Time is precious.
World learders only listen to people who will deliver value for the time spent on listening.
I too value my time. That is why I preferred to watch premier league or champions league match instead of listening to one fedora hat wearing former president.
Who will not make out time to listen to PMB? When we know he will deliver value. I won't miss his speech/interview for anything. Not even an el classico champions league final

jabbok:
You are a trouble maker.

you are wrong! What givs you the impresions

Oh my dear almighty Father.....i beseech you

Dash this boy money enough to buy a TV so he can see how international conferences of this nature proceed seamlessly across different language platforms
