Reckitt Honoured for Contributions to Nigeria’s WASH Sector
Reckitt, a global hygiene and health leader, has been recognized for its impactful contributions to Nigeria’s Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) sector. The award was presented by the Federal Ministry of Water Resources and Sanitation during the 2024 Global Handwashing Day event in Abuja.
The recognition highlights Reckitt’s initiatives, particularly through its brands Dettol and Harpic. In 2024, Dettol’s Hygiene Quest program directly reached over 250,000 individuals and indirectly impacted 2 million people, promoting life-saving handwashing practices. Since 2013, the program has educated over 6 million children and 4 million mothers.
Harpic has championed improved sanitation practices, collaborating with the Federal Ministry on initiatives like “World Toilet Day” to combat open defecation and advance Sustainable Development Goal 6 (SDG 6).
Cassandra Uzo-Ogbugh, Head of External Affairs at Reckitt Sub-Saharan Africa, praised the recognition, emphasizing Reckitt’s commitment to fostering healthier communities across Nigeria.
The award underscores the company’s ongoing efforts to ensure access to clean water, sanitation, and hygiene education for all Nigerians.
Nigerian pastor and overseer of the Citadel Global Community Church, Pastor Tunde Bakare, addresses and reacts to the current happenings of the country regarding the kidnapping and the abductions.
The pastor urges the government on steps they can take to solve and help the people of the country. “The Nigerian government has a clear and urgent duty to protect these Middle Belt communities, who have carried the weight of violence for far too long.”
“Rather than play the ostrich and cover up clear terrorism as mere farmer-herder clashes, the Nigerian state has a responsibility to invade the camps of armed marauders who hide under the cloak of herdsmen of whatever ethnicity, and who invade defenceless communities and gleefully massacre unarmed men, women and children.”
US President Donald Trump criticizes the Nigeria government once again after the increase of insecurity over the past few days. The president stated that the government is failing to protect Christian communities from the attacks going on.
“Nigeria is a disgrace. The whole thing is a disgrace,” Trump said. “They’re killing people by the thousands. It’s a genocide, and I’m really angry about it. And we pay, you know, we give a lot of subsidies to Nigeria. We’re going to end up stopping.”
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar speaks out against the rising insecurity in the country. He urged the government to take action and claimed that it is not too late to declare a state of emergency.
He reacted after another news of abduction of students was announced on the 21st of November.
“How many more lives must be shattered before decisive action is taken? It is not too late for the government to finally declare a state of emergency on insecurity and confront this menace with the urgency it deserves.”
