AIICO Insurance Supports Malaria Prevention Outreach in Ibadan

AIICO Insurance Plc has demonstrated its commitment to enhancing public health and fostering sustainable community development by supporting a significant malaria prevention outreach in Ibadan, Oyo State. This initiative aligns with the company's dedication to improving health outcomes and supporting vulnerable populations.

In commemoration of World Malaria Day 2026, the program, implemented in partnership with HACEY, successfully reached more than 5,000 community members across four primary health centers within the Ibadan North Local Government Area. The outreach focused on delivering targeted health education and essential preventive resources, with a particular emphasis on pregnant women and nursing mothers.

Malaria has continued to pose a significant threat to maternal and child health in Nigeria, and addressing it requires more than awareness. It requires deliberate, sustained action at the community level.

Segun Olalandu, Head of Marketing & Communication at AIICO Insurance, stated that malaria remains a critical public health challenge in Nigeria, which accounts for a substantial portion of global malaria cases. Recognizing the urgent need for continuous intervention, AIICO's support concentrated on bolstering awareness, promoting preventive behaviors, and improving access to life-saving tools in high-risk communities. As part of the outreach, 600 long-lasting insecticidal nets were distributed to pregnant women and nursing mothers. Structured health education sessions were also conducted to enhance understanding of malaria prevention, early diagnosis, and treatment.

Mrs. Abimbola Shobanjo, Manager of Corporate Responsibility and Sustainability at AIICO Insurance, highlighted that malaria continues to pose a significant threat to maternal and child health in Nigeria. She stressed that addressing this issue requires more than just awareness; it demands deliberate, sustained action at the community level. "At AIICO, we see social impact as a core part of our responsibility, not an add-on," Shobanjo stated. "This outreach reflects our commitment to supporting vulnerable populations with the knowledge and tools they need to protect themselves and their families."
