The initiative, which is borne out of the need ‘to mobilize communities against malaria and increase sensitization at the grass root level’, will see a host of Nigerian comedians such as Chigul, Basorge Tariah Jr., Tee A, AY, Owen Gee, Omobaba, and many more squaring off against a team of media personalities including Frank Edoho, Yaw, Mannie, Oscar Oyinsan, Femi and the Gang, Jimmie, Patrick Doyle and a host of others.
According to Irabor Okosun, the CEO of 3rafique communications who are the organizers of the programme, the aim is to “keep on creating, exploring, employing, and leveraging effective platforms to help us achieve this as well as the other Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).”
The awareness programme tagged ‘Join The Cast’ will be held on October 25, 2015 at the Campus Mini Stadium, to start by 2pm.
Kick-out Malaria partner, Ali Baba GCFR says the fight against malaria is collective and he implores Nigerians, Africa and the world to join in this fight by coming out to always participate and support the initiative.
The event is free to the general public. During the event, participants will be educated, entertained, and empowered with unique up-to-date methods for preventing and curing malaria by leveraging the convening power of football and entertainment.
During the event, there will be FREE Rapid Diagnostic Testing (RDT), FREE Artemisilin-based Combination Therapy (ACT) treatments, and distribution of long-lasting insecticide treated bed nets and insecticides.
