In a clarion call to action, Prince Cletus Ilobanafor, initiator of the Geneith Health Competition, and Mr. Emmanuel Umenwa, the sponsor of the initiative, have commended Nigerian students from tertiary institutions—encompassing universities ably led by Comr Josiah Peter Oche, National President NAUS, polytechnics, Comr Oyewumi Festus Ayomide , President NASPS and colleges of education, Comr Edunjobi Samuel Oluwaseun, National President NANCES —for wholeheartedly embracing the project as a vital vehicle for eradicating malaria in Nigeria. They urged students to become steadfast ambassadors within their educational institutions, ensuring that the adverse social impacts of malaria become a relic of the past.
“We regard your participation in this initiative as a powerful step toward a malaria-free Nigeria,” said Ilobanafor. “By rallying together, you have the potential to make an indelible impact on public health, raising awareness, and inspiring action among your peers and communities.”
Umenwa echoed these sentiments, expressing appreciation to policymakers, stakeholders, and institutional leaders for recognizing the fight against malaria as a collective responsibility.
“Together, we can create a formidable front against this disease. The involvement of students is crucial in this fight, as they represent the vibrant and innovative spirit necessary to enact meaningful change,” he remarked.
The Geneith Health Competition is Powered by Coatal Forte Softgel, a high-strength antimalarial medication designed to combat both acute and uncomplicated malaria caused by the Plasmodium falciparum parasite. With a vision of reaching every corner of Nigeria, this initiative aims to dismantle the barriers to health education and resources while ensuring that effective malaria treatment is accessible to all.
In addition to raising awareness, the GHC promises to empower Nigerian youth to become influential leaders of tomorrow, fostering a generation equipped with the knowledge and skills necessary for public health advocacy. Through activities such as workshops, health walks, and community outreach programs, students will not only learn effective malaria prevention strategies but will also develop leadership qualities essential for instigating long-lasting change in their communities.
As the excitement builds around the Geneith Health Competition, students are encouraged to seize this unique opportunity. “Your energy, creativity, and dedication are paramount to making this campaign successful,” Ilobanafor added, emphasizing that this is more than just a program; it is a movement aimed at transforming health narratives in Nigeria.
