Dettol Nigeria and the Wellbeing Foundation Africa have officially flagged off Phase 3 of the Dettol Hygiene Quest initiative in Lagos, with plans to reach more than 800,000 students and mothers across Nigeria in 2026.
The launch took place at Eko Akete Junior Secondary School, Lagos Island, recently, where students joined interactive handwashing demonstrations and hygiene education sessions, and received Dettol antibacterial soaps and learning materials to promote healthy habits at home and in school.
The Clean Naija Initiative, which drives the Dettol Hygiene Quest programme, is working to reach 6 million schoolchildren by 2030 while raising handwashing rates by 20 percent, reducing diarrhoea cases by 10 percent, and reducing school absenteeism linked to hygiene-related illnesses.
