“Sleep inside mosquito net every night
Treat malaria with ACT after test
ANC during pregnancy for mother and unborn child.


These messages will be further highlighted creatively by the #NetNation campaign on social media platforms and will last for six weeks.

Also unveiled at the launch was the project theme music recorded by 2face Idibia as part of the Million Voices for Peace (MVP) project, and a Public Service Announcement video by the BBC Media Action to sensitize the electorates on the need to VOTE NOT FIGHT. Fielding questions from members of the press as well other civil society organisations present, the panel made up of 2face Idibia, Maxwell Machill (Senior Program Manager – NDI), Mrs. Ijeoma Okey-Igbokwe (HOD, Voters Education – INEC), Kingsley Bangwell (Youngstars Foundation and Efe Omorogbe (representing The 2face Foundation), gave insightful answers and offered clarifications where required. Also to lend support to the campaign was the United States Ambassador to Nigeria, James Entwistle, who though not physically present, delivered a pre-recorded speech via multi media. The highlight of the launch was the signing of the pledge by 2face Idibia, Now Muzik artiste and collaborator on the MVP "Break the Silence" single, Henry ‘K Slim’Kosiso, Ms. Ransome-Kuti and EiE's Yemi Adamolekun, followed by the other attendees.
