Media chat on Family Planning in Nigerian Pidgin language at Wazobia FM, PortHarcourt.

The theme of this year's World Contraception Day is "Bursting the Myths". One of the most common myth about Family Planning is that it causes Infertility.

In this interview with Jeta, Mrs. Odega debunks this myth, stating that there is no significant relationship between Infertility and the uptake of family planning methods. Family Planning is safe, and once taken off, fertility will be returned.

September 26th is World Contraception Day; a day focused on creating awareness about contraceptive knowledge and family planning. It is a global campaign held annually to shed light on birth control methods by asserting the importance of reproductive health.

Established by the World Health Organisation, it is a significant day in CWHAD as it creates an opportunity for discourse on Family Planning which is an evidence based method of reducing maternal mortality.

To commemorate this year's event, we carried out series of media chats on radio stations in Rivers State, reaching thousands of people in Rivers State with Family Planning messages. Also, as a part of the Rivers State Family Planning Advocacy Working Group, we paid a courtesy visit to the Deputy Governor of Rivers State, Dame Dr. Mrs. Ipalibo Harry Banigo, who is the National Family Planning Champion.
