DKT Nigeria's Omolara Aluko wins Bill and Melinda Gates' "120 Under 40" - BellaNaija

Omolara Aluko

Omolara Aluko, a family planning and contraception educator was the winner of this year’s “120 Under 40,” announced by the Bill and Melinda Gates Institute for Population and Reproductive Health.

The award recognizes a new generation of family planning leaders, who have contributed immensely in bringing to the awareness of the general public, the benefits of family planning.

Omolara, a team member of DKT Nigeria, has been particularly instrumental in the national development and implementation of radio and TV programs that discuss family planning and contraception in a refreshing, interesting and interactive manner.

These radio and TV programs provide valuable information about various contraceptive methods, address side effects management and debunk contraceptive myths and misconceptions.

These programs have positively impacted thousands of Nigerian lives and even earned DKT Nigeria free radio airtime rewards in the process.

Congratulations to Omolara on the recognition of her hard work in the community by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
