awarded the TV Drama as the Best TV Drama with malaria content at a

the activities commemorating the World Malaria Day.
Speaking on the award, the Managing
Director of WAP, Wale Adenuga Jnr said, “For over a decade,
millions of families have been watching Superstory every week, and we
do not take this for granted. We are accountable to our audience and
with this in mind, we always ensure that we dish out stories that not
only entertain, but also contain socially-relevant messages. Special
thanks to Society for Family Health who partnered with us on the Free
to Live project. We appreciate this USAID award and vow to continue
using our voice to contribute our quota to the overall development of
Nigeria.”
The current season of Superstory,
titled Godwin, is already doing a great job at providing
enlightenment aimed at the eradication of the prevailing stigma
surrounding Down Syndrome in Nigeria. It airs across the country on
wapTV, StarTimes, Gotv, Consat, StarSat and MyTV.
