The Ogun State Government has inaugurated the Insecticide Treated Nets Campaign Coordination Network (ICCN), to facilitate effective distribution of nets across the state, as part of effort to eliminate malaria. She added that the ICCN is saddled with ensuring that the nets are well- distributed and appropriately utilized. “We have seen a significant reduction of deaths as a result of malaria in recent years. Between 2010 and 2018, there was about a 33 per cent reduction in malaria deaths. However, it ought to have been a lot more successful but for low utilization of the nets given out to individuals.
