According to Godson Kingsley Chinwe, the State Support Team leader from the National Malaria Control Booster Project in Abuja, the exercise identified the importance of the role of the media towards the success of the new strategies.
He said that there was need to have adequate knowledge about the new line of action and how to approach the matter with enormous preparedness so as to capture the hearts of the people to use the net properly as directed by the Malaria Control Booster Project.
He presented the organization’s 40 point’s timetable of action expected to last till November 8, 2014.
The timetable began with a verification of Gombe state’s preparedness for the implementation of the enhanced strategies which include engagement of LGA’s, verification of recruitment and data.
