Gusau, Zamfara State —  ACOMIN lead ATM Network trained Stakeholders on CLM/CSS operational Modalities in Zamfara State. The training  aimed at empowering communities to play a greater role in the fight against Tuberculosis, Malaria, and HIV/AIDS.

Delivering a keynote address at the opening of the training, the Deputy State Coordinator of the TB Network, Abdullahi Lawali Bungudu, emphasized that TB, Malaria, and HIV/AIDS remain major public health challenges in the state and across Nigeria. He noted, however, that community-driven solutions can change the narrative.

“Community-Led Monitoring empowers affected populations to actively assess the quality of health services, identify gaps, and ensure accountability in service delivery,” he said. “Community Systems Strengthening, on the other hand, builds the capacity of organizations and networks to respond effectively. Stronger communities mean stronger health systems, and stronger health systems mean better outcomes for TB, Malaria, and HIV/AIDS interventions.”

Mr. Bungudu urged participants to take the training beyond the classroom and apply the skills in their respective communities. According to him, the knowledge gained should be used to improve health services, educate others, and amplify the voices of those most affected.

He commended partners and facilitators for supporting the initiative and called on participants to be proactive, committed, and focused.

The training, he said, represents a vital step toward ensuring that no life is lost to TB, Malaria, or HIV/AIDS in Zamfara State.

Insecurity in Zamfara: The Silent Crises in Dansadau Emirate

  The Dansadau Emirate in Maru local government is under siege not by foreign invaders but by the relentless grip of insecurity. Along the Gusau–Magami–Dansadau road, fear now walks freely where people once moved with peace and purpose. What was once a lifeline for commerce and daily life has become a corridor of terror. As someone with roots in this emirate, I can no longer stay silent. Families are torn apart, lives are lost daily, and the hope of a better tomorrow is fading. Innocent farmers, traders, children, and the elderly are living in constant fear of bandits who roam unchecked. The cries from our communities echo through the forests, yet they are met with deafening silence from those in power. We are not asking for miracles only for the most basic responsibility of any government: security. The people of Dansadau emirate deserve to live without fear, to farm their land, to send their children to school, and to travel safely within their own state. This is a call to the re...

An Urgent Call to Authorities on Graduation Celebrations

  By Abdullahi Lawal Bungudu I wish to draw the urgent attention of the Zamfara State Ministry of Education, Science and Technology, the Universal Basic Education Board (UBEB), the Ministry for Religious Affairs, and all school principals across the state, regarding the manner in which graduation ceremonies are now being conducted in our schools. It has become increasingly alarming that these celebrations—particularly those involving our young children—are gradually drifting away from the ethical, cultural, and religious standards expected in our society. In many instances, the interactions between boys and girls during such events are inappropriate, and contradict the moral values and teachings of Islam. This worrisome trend, if left unchecked, threatens to erode the moral foundation we strive to instill in our children through both formal education and religious upbringing. Graduation ceremonies should be moments of pride and reflection, not occasions for moral laxity and cultura...
