Aisha Yesufu Asks NASS To Summon Tinubu Over Insecurity

Aisha Yesufu asks NASS to summon Tinubu over insecurity. The Co-convener of the #BringBackOurGirls Movement, Aisha Yesufu, has urged the National Assembly to summon President Bola Tinubu to a joint session to explain what his administration is doing to protect Nigerians amid escalating insecurity across the country.

Yesufu made the call on Monday in an open letter addressed to federal lawmakers, where she also urged urgent legislative action to strengthen security agencies and address the underlying drivers of insecurity.

She also criticised the legislature for what she described as its passive response to the worsening situation, insisting that lawmakers must “wake up to their responsibilities” and act in the interest of the citizens.

Reacting to the spate of attacks nationwide, the human rights activist said, “We will not be silenced or intimidated. We will continue to demand accountability and good governance.”

She lamented that Nigerians were being “hunted like animals, abducted or killed in their places of worship, schools, on the roads, farms, markets, and even in their homes, where they ought to be safest,” stressing that “nowhere and no one is safe in the country.”

According to Yesufu, lawmakers have failed to stand with the people they represent. “With all of this happening, the National Assembly members have not deemed it fit to raise their collective voices for the people who sent them. Instead, they have raised their voices in defending the executive they should be holding accountable.”

She further expressed disappointment in the parliament’s performance, saying, “As a citizen of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, I am dismayed and disappointed by the National Assembly’s failure to fulfil its constitutional duties.”

The activist noted that the National Assembly, as the highest legislative arm of government, should be the voice of the people, “but it has become a rubber-stamp Assembly, complicit in the country’s descent into chaos.”

Plateau Recorded 2,786 New HIV Infections In 2024

Plateau recorded 2,786 new HIV infections in 2024. Mr Ba’amlong noted that there had been progress in the prevention of mother-to-child transmission.

Plateau State Commissioner for Health, Nicholas Ba’amlong,  has said the state recorded 2,786 new cases of HIV infections and 460 related deaths in 2024.

Mr Ba’amlong disclosed this on Monday in Jos at an event to commemorate the 2025 World AIDS Day, marked globally on December 1, with the theme “Overcoming Disruption: Sustaining Nigeria’s HIV Response.”

He said that 51,370 persons were living with HIV in the state as of September 2025, comprising 14,001 males and 33,055 females.
He added that 47,056 adults and 1,835 children were currently receiving antiretroviral therapy (ART).
The commissioner explained that 98,403 persons were screened between January and September 2025, out of which 1,910 tested positive.
Mr Ba’amlong noted that there had been progress in the prevention of mother-to-child transmission, adding that 30,743 pregnant women were tested within the period, and 39 who tested positive had been linked to care.
He said the state had expanded HIV testing services to more than 900 health facilities and intensified awareness on prevention and treatment.
The commissioner called for stronger community engagement, improved access to healthcare, and increased investment in research and innovation to sustain progress against the disease.

He commended Governor Caleb Mutfwang for approving funds used to procure HIV dual test kits, which he said had been distributed to health facilities across the state.

Mr Ba’amlong also lauded development partners for supporting the delivery of quality healthcare services.
Similarly, the executive director of the Plateau AIDS Control Agency (PLACA), Esther Turaki, said the state had achieved a viral load suppression rate of 92 per cent as of June 2025.

Ms Turaki described the HIV Domestic Resource Mobilisation and Sustainability (DRMS) Strategy as a critical initiative aimed at standardising and scaling existing efforts while introducing innovative financing mechanisms.

According to her, the strategy sets out a clear plan for mobilising new domestic resources by identifying funding sources, annual targets and key actions required for implementation.
She applauded Mr Mutfwang for his sustained support to the agency.

The keynote address was delivered by Chris Isichei, who urged governments to reduce reliance on donor funding and establish a dedicated HIV funding bank as external support continues to decline.

He also encouraged the Plateau State government to integrate HIV and AIDS treatment into the state’s health insurance scheme.
