He said, “I am committed to using my role and influence to encourage the use of Colgate among consumers owing to its far-reaching effect of addressing cavity issues and improving oral health in general. I hope to take this message to every nook and cranny of the North.
“My message to Nigerians is that they should be conscious of their dental health and the best way to do that is to patronise Colgate. Based on my experience, I can say that Colgate remains the number one oral care product to address any dental issues.”
