Specifically for the Covid-19 Enlightenment Campaign, along with airing TV promos created by Nigerian Film Corporation (NFC), Electronic Media Content Owners Association of Nigeria (EMCOAN), and others, we have also aired several informative comedy skits starring our Papa Ajasco Reloaded, and Akpan & Oduma brands, as well as our TV Presenters – Chief Olododo and SlimmyTee. In addition to that, we also have a live interactive medical show – Health Matta, which gives viewers weekly updates and information about Corona Virus; as well as our Lockdown Mode daily show which showcases the fun activities viewers are doing as the stay at home in line with the lockdown regulations. We look forward to future collaborations with other bodies in Government, and the Private Sector.”
