World Malaria Day: Nigeria must act now! By Punch Editorial Board on April 26, 2026 – Recommended Nigerian Newspaper Report 41
ON April 25, the global community marked World Malaria Day 2026 with an urgent theme, “Driven to End Malaria: Now We Can. Now We Must.” This message is a call to action anchored on a rare convergence of scientific progress and global resolve.
For Nigeria, where malaria remains a persistent public health burden, the message demands more than commemoration; it requires decisive, sustained action.

All levels of government in the country should not only be concerned but also ashamed of the high poverty among Nigerians and the deteriorating living conditions. Sadly, the damning rating has been consistent over the years, despite the huge resources available to be exploited for the benefit of most citizens. That such a positive turnaround is not happening points to half-hearted measures and policies by the government, borne out of a lack of political will to serve the people with sincerity.
