Kebbi State Commemorates 2026 World TB Day. Inaugurates Local TB Champions
Saturday, 28th March 2026, Kebbi State marked the World TB Day 2026 with the theme “Yes! We can End TB, Led By Country, Powered By People,” with a show of commitment and community action.
The day began with an advocacy walk to the Government House, led by Her Excellency, Hajiya Zainab Nasare, First Lady of Kebbi State and State Stop TB Championns, symbolizing strong leadership in the fight against tuberculosis.
A major highlight was the investiture and decoration of 21 LGA Chairmen’s wives as TB Champions, empowering them to drive awareness, support case finding, and promote treatment adherence at the grassroots level. The event held at the Kebbi State Government House, Kebbi, reinforced a shared commitment to ending TB.
Stop TB Partnership Nigeria expressed our profound appreciation to Her Excellency for the inauguration of the LGA TB Champions which marks an important milestone in decentralising TB advocacy and strengthening community ownership of the response in Kebbi State.
💬 *“TB is curable, and together, we can end it.”*
Let’s keep the momentum going—raise awareness, reduce stigma, and ensure no one is left behind.
