Nollywood actor Lateef Adedimeji has distributed sanitary pads to students in six states namely Kaduna, Kwara, Ogun, Oyo, Lagos and Cross River, Igbere TV reports.

The 34-year-old shared a video from one of the schools he visited in an Instagram post on Wednesday.

Adedimeji said it was the youths under his Great Mind Initiative (GMI) that organised a campaign to sensitize young girls and the public on menstrual health and hygiene.

He said every girl child deserves at least a pack of sanitary pad every month for free.

“Every organization has a core value and a central goal, without which they cannot have a central system for adequate performance.

“If condoms can be free, pads can also be free! #GMI @gmi_network says a big thank you to everyone that supported this campaign/project! God bless you,” he wrote.

He try

Very nice of him, some young girls can't even afford sanitary pads and are exposed to infections because of this

This is good. He deserves some accolades.

Nice one. Sanitary pad should be given free

.

Sanitary pads should be subsidized in Nigeria.

I don't know why a pack of pad goes for 250 and above when its not like its our fault we menstruate.
Nice of him to do this. Very nice

Na pad suppose free sef

Condoms and Pads na d same thing ni? Abi female condom no dey?

Nigerians and reasoning sha

Sanitary pads should actually be free in rural areas and secondary schools, subsidized in urban areas.

Menstrual flow doesn't ask if there is money before it comes.

It's becoming costly these days.

There is high rate of vaginal infections amongst women because some of them use pieces of wrapper for it when they can't afford the pads. They keep re-using that one can even perceive the bloody odour from afar.

It's a reasonable argument.

God bless you

Hell no...Nothing is free rule number one of life.

I've never seen a vendor that hands out condoms for free though.

It should be free because we don’t have a choice....unlike sex.

Nice of him to do this. Very nice

I guess food should be free too. I mean, it's not our fault neither do we have a choice than to go hungry . No?

Right thing in the right direction.....well i understand the sentiment of free condoms, its logical "Preventive".

Nice one

Nice gesture but hope is he trying to start gender war.
Condom and pad no be same thing. Beside female condom na free too
at any health center. sanitary pads are not one naira

nice coming from that actor n pls I think sanitary pads needs to be subsidized bcoz its too cost for an average Nigeria teen..
abt dt heading or topic, pls nothing is free In this life bcoz a law in economics states dt exemption of natural factors, nothing ia free in this life, if you get it free means dt somebody paid for it, or someone is paying for it..

Good

God bless him

.

Abeg wetin be the correlation between condom and pad?

Be ready to get fake and not quality pad.

At least an average Nigerian girl should be able to afford a pack of pad every month

Good move
