NFF Fights Malaria in Wumba, Abuja

Nation First Foundation (NFF) held a malaria outreach at Wumba Primary Health Care Centre, Abuja, on 27th June 2026, under its Project Combat Malaria (PCM) initiative.

The event brought free malaria testing, treatment, health consultations and community education to the Wumba community, at a time when malaria remains one of Nigeria's leading health challenges, especially in the rainy season.

In one day, the team saw 142 community members, ran 92 malaria tests, and provided medications and counselling alongside general health checks. The outreach drew support from the National Malaria Elimination Programme (NMEP), the Federal Ministry of Labour, the National Television Authority (NTA), healthcare workers and Wumba community leaders.

Wumba PHC Intervention

Following a Needs Assessment conducted on the 1st of July 2025, Nation First Foundation 
identified urgent healthcare gaps affecting residents of Wumba Community in Apo ward, AMAC, 
Abuja. Our team visited the Primary Health Centre and surrounding settlements, engaging with 
community members and frontline staff. What we found was deeply concerning - healthcare 
delivery in the community is on the brink of collapse, with little to no support reaching those who 
need it most. 

In response, Nation First Foundation swiftly initiated a Medical Emergency Intervention on the 
23rd of July, 2025. This was not just a visit; it was a bold call to action. The goal was clear: bring 
visibility to the crisis, draw media and stakeholder attention, and mobilize support to save lives 
and restore dignity to Wumba’s healthcare system.
