A leading global toothpaste brand, Pepsodent, has restated its commitment to preventing oral health disease in the country as it also pledged to deepen access to dental care for Nigerians.
Mary G. Akindola, Brand Manager, Pepsodent, while speaking during the ministerial press briefing held in Abuja to commemorate 2024 National Oral Health Week and Noma Day, emphasized that oral health remains an issue of interest that Unilever and its brands, Closeup and Pepsodent, will continue to campaign on in order to improve the well-being and quality of life of the people.
The brand manager explained that Unilever has been collaborating with the Federal Ministry of Health to ensure improved oral health for Nigerians through our brush day and night campaigns and initiatives.
Akindola added that the brand remains committed to embarking on initiatives that would advance the promotion of oral hygiene among Nigerians.
“Oral health is an essential component of overall health that is often overlooked. In a country as diverse and dynamic as Nigeria, ensuring every citizen, regardless of background or geographic location, has access to quality oral health education and care is no small feat. No doubt, the Federal Government is making tremendous efforts through policy initiatives and programs to encourage and boost awareness for oral health care in Nigeria. On our part, we will continue to take actions that would complement this effort in the quest to make oral health hygiene a routine among Nigerians,” she said.
