However, it was recorded that during the walk Residents, celebrities, public civil servants and Representatives from notable Organizations, groups and associations joined massively in the walk to support Prince Ned Nwoko Foundation's Malaria Eradication Project in Africa. Speaking with participants, they described their participation as a way of supporting the eradication of malaria by ensuring cleanliness in their home and environments, including other forms of periodical fumigations.

It is yet on record that malaria remains one of the deadliest illness in Africa as it has killed more persons than even the recent coronavirus.
