Buhari Speech In New York Yesterday by Ahmedie25(m): 3:43pm On Sep 26, 2015 |
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. |
