Addressing the clerics during the initiative's unveiling, UNICEF Social and Behavioural Change Specialist Dr Ogu Enemaku urged the interfaith leaders to incorporate relevant scriptural messages on health, nutrition, education, and child protection into their sermons, teachings, and community engagements. Deputy Director of the National Orientation Agency, Amaka Aninta, challenged religious leaders to leverage their platforms to prevent avoidable deaths among children and pregnant women, emphasizing the importance of adhering to scriptural teachings that emphasize the protection and wellbeing of mothers and children.",
