African first ladies across the world are in New York to assess and modify effective means of contributing to the Millennium Development Goals and new perspectives on HIV and AIDS.

Wife of Nigeria’s President, Aisha Buhari, was represented by the wife of the Senate President, Toyin Saraki, at the event.

Aisha, in her speech, lamented that the Boko Haram insurgency was affecting health care for women and children.


She called for proper care for Internally Displaced Persons and affirmed the need to continually do more, especially in the areas of maternal health and child mortality.

In his address, executive director of United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), Dr. Babatunde Osotimehin, said girl child education remained key to the development framework all over Africa.

He further advocated adequate investment in women and girls.

I hope Madam Sariki don't infect Aisha with her appetite for corruption that was passed on to her from her hubby.
