  • #HygieneFirst: 5 Menstrual Hygiene Tips Every Girl & Woman Should Know

    By now, you must have heard about the Hygiene First campaign, an initiative of the Extended Hands Foundation which was launched by myself and my team to enlighten people about the long-term positive impact of hygienic habits and encourage citizen responsibility in practicing such habits.

    Personal hygiene is a key component of this campaign, and so, to mark the Menstrual Hygiene Day 2020 which was observed on May 28, I’ll like to remind us as ladies about important ways to maintain proper hygiene on those special days.

    Poor personal hygiene during your period can often result in some future health issues like infections, irregular cycle, etc that can surely affect your lifestyle.

    Show yourself some extra care while on your period because your body deserves it.

    Here are 5 menstrual hygiene tips every girl and woman should know:

  • Inspiring a National Culture of Personal & Community Hygiene

    I’m a firm believer that the resolve to have a healthier and cleaner environment is a collective responsibility we all share. Our actions, good or bad, affect us all and there is no better time than now to make that conscious decision to do things right.

    It is on this premise that I’m happy to introduce the “Hygiene First – My New Habit” campaign, an initiative of the Extended Hands Foundation which seeks to put hygiene at the center of our national culture.

    Our goal is to inspire a long-term and purposeful lifestyle change among Nigerians which would stimulate personal and community hygiene as a tool for preventing person-to-person transmittable diseases, and improve the sense of pride we feel about our nation.
