Addressing the children, Safeguard’s Brand Manager, Tolulope Pogoson, said the brand was excited to sponsor the Nnenna & Friends Children’s Day celebration because it is a platform for the company to demonstrate its dedication to the health of Nigerian families, particularly the children, who are the leaders of tomorrow.

Encouraging them to remain healthy in their journey to become tomorrow’s leaders Pogoson said the future awaits children who reach for their dreams and stay physically healthy.

“In order for you to attain your dreams of becoming future leaders, you must stay healthy and strong. It is important you observe basic hygiene rules which involve washing your hands regularly with Safeguard soap; ensuring you have your bath with any of Safeguard’s soap; and ensuring your environment and surroundings are clean at all times.”

She further said that the Safeguard soap offers the family double protection against germs for up to 12 hours and, that is why it is the only anti-bacterial soap that has been endorsed by the Africa Medical Association (AFMA).
