A leading consumer goods company in Nigeria, Procter & Gamble, has reiterated its commitment to reduce infant mortality and promote child health in Nigeria through its recently announced partnership with the Ogun State government. This partnership between P&G and Ogun State aims to encourage more children to be immunised and as such contribute to improving the health outcomes of over 10,000 babies in the state through P&G’s donation of over 400,000 Pampers® diapers. This announcement was made at the official flag off event held at Igbogila Primary Health Care Centre, Ogun State.

P&G’s citizenship programmes in Nigeria are focused on delivering health, hygiene, and education programmes to the populace. With this partnership, the company will support Ogun state primary health development board and the Office of the First Lady on their drive to improve child health and hygiene of over 10,000 more infants through increased immunisation in the state.



Speaking about the partnership, the P&G Africa Director for Government Relations and Public Policy, Dr. (Mrs.) Temitope Iluyemi, said, “At P&G, we deliver our promise to make everyday life just a little bit better for our consumers. Our brand is dedicated to every baby’s happy, healthy development. This is why we are thankful to the Ogun State government for this partnership to improve the health and hygiene of over 10,000 more infants in the state by increasing immunisation rates in areas with historically low rates. P&G aims to be a force for good and a force for growth in the communities where we live and work. Our operations have generated over 4,000 jobs and through our citizenship programmes, we touch over five million Nigeria lives,” Iluyemi added.
