Nachilala Nkombo, ONE Deputy Director, Africa, was on hand to formally launch the campaign in Lagos. She made a beautiful speech urging Nigerians to put more pressure on the Nigerian government to increase investments in the health sector and increase budget allocation to health care. She stressed how distressing it is to note that millions of women and children are still dying in Nigeria yearly due to preventable diseases and lack of a befitting health sector for a great country like Nigeria.
