His Majesty Global School, Ibadan, Oyo State has urged students to take advantage of the Geneith Health Competition (GHC), noting that the knowledge and opportunities provided could help them develop careers in the health sector and bring pride to the school.

The President and Proprietor of the school, Dr. Babajide Johnson Ojo, gave the charge during the school’s participation in the GHC, a nationwide initiative aimed at promoting malaria awareness and prevention among young Nigerians.

The school hosted the GHC outreach team, led by CEOAFRICA Managing Director, Prince Cletus Ilobanafor, on Tuesday, October 20, 2026, as students participated in an interactive question-and-answer session focused on health-related issues, particularly malaria prevention and control.

Ojo expressed appreciation to Ilobanafor for extending the competition to the institution and providing students with an opportunity to benefit from its health education and empowerment objectives.

He also commended the organisers for what he described as a laudable initiative capable of contributing to Nigeria’s aspiration to eliminate malaria through homegrown solutions and increased public awareness.

At the end of the exercise, 10 students who answered the questions correctly were rewarded with free registration for the competition and recognised as malaria ambassadors under the initiative.

The students are Olayemi Taiwo, Olayemi Kehinde, Odeniran Covenant and Owolabi Okikijesu from the senior class, alongside Adewale Aishat, Emucha Nehemiah, Adepegba Inioluwa, Abiodun Precious, Akinyemi David and Afolayan Mary from the junior class.

The exercise tested the students’ understanding of malaria prevention and control while reinforcing the importance of environmental cleanliness, preventive practices and appropriate treatment in reducing the burden of the disease.

The GHC is organised by CEOAFRICA, sponsored by Geneith Pharmaceuticals Limited and powered by Coatal Forte Softgel. The initiative seeks to educate and empower students in secondary and tertiary institutions across Nigeria with knowledge and skills to protect themselves, their families and communities against malaria.

The competition targets junior and senior secondary school students, as well as students in tertiary institutions, across Nigeria’s 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory.

It is designed to mobilise young Nigerians as ambassadors in the fight against malaria by combining health education, academic engagement and incentives.

Through the programme, students are encouraged to acquire relevant health knowledge, share accurate information and promote preventive practices among their peers, families and communities.

The programme also featured group photography sessions involving Ilobanafor, the school’s proprietor and students, with participants photographed class by class as part of the outreach activities.

In her vote of thanks, the school principal, Mrs. Kehinde Isaac, appreciated the organisers for bringing the initiative to the school and commended the students for their cooperation, enthusiasm and active participation throughout the programme.

With His Majesty Global School joining the growing network of participating institutions, the 10 newly recognised malaria ambassadors are expected to extend the campaign’s message beyond the classroom, encouraging their peers and community members to embrace effective malaria prevention practices.
