Also speaking during the ceremony, the General Manager of the company, Akbar Ali Shah, said, “We have a purpose, which is to protect, heal and nurture in the relentless pursuit of a cleaner and healthier world. It is why we launched the ‘Mortein Fight to End Malaria’ campaign in 2021 to drive awareness and educate citizens on malaria prevention. According to the World Malaria Report in 2020, Nigeria accounted for the highest rate of malaria deaths in the world, with an estimated 160,000 deaths within the year. This can be prevented as a key action to protect from malaria is the elimination of the vector carrier of the disease, mosquitoes.”
We recognise that this fight will be an enormous task. That is why we got a leading voice to drive the conversation and eventually achieve behavioural change. Henshaw is very passionate about social causes. She is a worthy role model and an inspiration to many Nigerians.”
