Very inspiring. I hope you are steadfast away from the WEF, WHO, Davos type malaria eradication façade.

Ahead of World Malaria Day, yesterday I held a multi-sectoral meeting with the Parliamentary Forum on Malaria (UPFM) to breathe new life into the fight against one of the leading killer diseases. We were also privileged to host Prof. Steve Harvey from Johns Hopkins University, who is in Uganda to support UPFM in coming up with a community-centered approach to Malaria elimination. Prof. Steve Harvey is collaborating with a number of Ugandan university professors and other stakeholders to develop a multi-sectoral collaboration model to support communities in mosquito control activities. This effort will ensure that the primary responsibility for mosquito control lies with the community, complementing malaria control activities by the Ministry of Health and eventually leading to the elimination of Malaria. I also emphasized the need to mobilize and sensitize the public on the proper use of mosquito nets, planting of repellent plants, clearing of bushes, and stagnant waters around homes, among others. I once again thank members for all their efforts towards the success of this great cause and invite the general public to join Parliament’s Annual Malaria Walk tomorrow, whose objective is to raise awareness about the life-threatening disease.

In January 2020, I undertook an expedition to the South Pole in Antarctica, the coldest and most remote region on Earth, where temperatures is –100°C. I went not in search of adventure, but in pursuit of purpose. I became the first Black African to undertake an expedition to the South Pole in Antarctica, and on that vast frozen expanse, I hoisted the Nigerian flag as a symbol of national pride and global responsibility. It was a clear statement that Africa must be present and heard in the conversations that shape our shared future. From a continent where malaria cannot survive, I drew global attention to a disease that continues to devastate Africa. Malaria is preventable, treatable, and eradicable, yet it still claims hundreds of thousands of lives every year, particularly among children and pregnant women. This is not a failure of science. It is a failure of collective commitment. The symbolism of Antarctica was deliberate. If humanity can reach and endure the harshest environment on Earth, then it can summon the will to end a disease that has held Africa back for generations. Malaria is not merely a health issue. It is an economic, social, and developmental burden that undermines productivity and limits opportunity. Beyond advocacy, this commitment is being translated into law. My bill for the establishment of an agency responsible for the eradication of malaria has successfully gone through the Senate’s first reading, second reading, and public hearing. We now await the third reading and the concurrence of the House of Representatives, after which the bill will be transmitted to the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria for assent. This proposed agency is designed to focus solely on doing all that is necessary to eradicate malaria. With the right structures, sustained funding, scientific innovation, and political will, malaria eradication is achievable. The fight against malaria knows no borders. Until it is defeated everywhere, the work remains unfinished.

Indonesia aims to continue its commitment to position itself as a bridge between the Global North and the Global South. As my esteemed friend, Ray Dalio, noted, Indonesia is a nation of great potential, waiting for its great transformation. To realize this potential, we must take on a greater role in strengthening our efforts to foster cooperation and ensure global stability while actively contributing to boosting economic growth in our country and region.
