The activation exercise, which held simultaneously in all the schools across four locations, namely Makoko, Yaba, Surulere, and Ikeja, is part of activities lined up to commemorate the 2024 World Oral Health Day.
“So far, we have been able to reach 7 million children as far as oral health education is concerned. And this year, we plan to do an additional 2 million children. We have what we call the 21 days program where we ask kids to brush for 21 days. The idea is to make it a habit. So, we do so by giving them a calendar for 21 days to tick when they brush day and night. At the end of the 21st day, we reward them for keeping up with the habits,” she said.
