The Geneith Health Competition Activation Team marked the birthday of Prince Cletus Sunday Iloabanafor, celebrating him as a media entrepreneur, language advocate, and public health champion behind the nationwide malaria campaign. In a statement by Mr. Emmanuel Adams, the team described Iloabanafor as a journalist and ICT expert whose drive for innovation and national development has earned him recognition at home and abroad. They said the occasion celebrates both the leader and the vision he represents for a stronger, healthier Nigeria.
Adams hailed Iloabanafor as courageous and forward-thinking, while the team applauded his role in shaping Nigeria’s healthcare conversations through strategic partnerships and grassroots interventions. They also noted CEOAFRICA’s 11-year milestone as a leading African media platform, and listed Iloabanafor’s honors including the African Union Diaspora Lifetime Achievement Award and the Arikana Excellence Award. As a member of the AU African Language Week Coordinating Committee, he continues to push Agenda 2063 and digital transformation across the continent.
Iloabanafor said his only birthday wish is a malaria-free Nigeria, noting that the Geneith Health Competition was designed to mobilize young people, health workers, and communities against one of the country’s biggest health challenges. The Chairman of Geneith Pharmaceutical urged GHC ambassadors to intensify advocacy at the grassroots as the competition rollout begins. The activation team said the best gift to their founder would be delivering the project successfully, and called on government agencies, corporates, and the public to back the push for a malaria-free future.
