'Given the various disease outbreaks across the globe, it is vital for us as a country to prioritise epidemic preparedness. Even when we are not responding, we should prepare for an outbreak that can occur at any time.'Tawakalt Hassan-Obalola, Lagos State Coordinator, LisdelNig.

From our work in Lagos state, we have observed that evidence-based advocacy actions are critical to build stronger & effective alliance with relevant stakeholder to improve funding for epidemics prepared & response & raise the accountability bar for health security in the state.

'As journalists, accurate data makes your stories rich, efficient & less guessing. It provides deeper insights into what is happening around us & how it might affect us.'- Ibukun Oguntola discussing the importance of data when reporting on epidemic preparedness & response.

As infectious disease outbreaks continue to emerge & remerge, strengthening Nigeria's health security is no longer an option but a priority.

We must ensure adequate funding for epidemic preparedness because preventing outbreaks is more cost-effective than responding to them.
