“I dedicate this investiture to Daniel, one of my staff, who unfortunately lost his life to the disease, and to others who we have lost just like him by remaining silent.

“Starting from now, let us work together by showing compassion, and understanding to end stigma and discrimination,” she admonished.

Present at the event were former First Lady Mrs Turai Yar’Adua and wives of former Vice Presidents, Alh. Atiku Abubakar and Prof. Yemi Osinbajo – Hajia Titi Atiku Abubakar and Mrs Dolapo Osinbajo, respectively, among others.
