NSUK VC Attends "Big Push Against Malaria" Launch in Abuja

The Vice-Chancellor of Nasarawa State University, Keffi (NSUK), Professor Sa'adatu Hassan Liman, participated in the Nigeria launch of the "Big Push Against Malaria" on Thursday, September 11, 2025, in Abuja.

The two-day national event, organized by the Federal Ministry of Health and Social Welfare and the Roll Back Malaria Partnership, in conjunction with Africa Leaders Malaria Allaince, brought together political leaders, health experts, development partners, and community leaders to strengthen efforts toward malaria elimination.

The conference aims to generate a new narrative, reaffirm political commitment, and deepen collaboration on sustainable financing models for malaria elimination. During the high-level engagement, Professor Liman met with the Minister of Health and Social Welfare, Professor Muhammad Ali Pate, to discuss the university's molecular lab, which was funded by USAID and is now collaborating with the ministry's supervision. She also used the opportunity to network with various organizations involved in the project.

This is a follow-up to a recent visit by a team from the National Malaria Eradication Programme to NSUK to discuss further research on eliminating malaria in Nigeria.
