CIFA

On February 20, 2010, CIFA founder and chairman Ed Scott and the Nigerian Inter-Faith Action Association (NIFAA) hosted former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, founder and patron of the Tony Blair Faith Foundation, in Abuja at NIFAA's first state training for 200 Nigerian religious leaders from the Federal Capital Territory. The training focused on the causes and prevention of malaria and the role of faith leaders in working with their congregants to deliver key malaria prevention messages about how to turn net ownership into net use.

The training session was led by NIFAA in partnership with the Nigerian National Malaria Control Programme, the Nigerian Federal Ministry of Health and CIFA. Speaking on the panel were CIFA Founder and Chairman Ed Scott, former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, former President of Nigeria Olusegun Obasanjo, the representative of the Sultan of Sokoto and Roman Catholic Archbishop of Abuja John Onaiyekan (NIFAA co-Chairs), Nigerian Minister of Health Babatunde Osotimehin, World Bank Country Director Onno Ruhl, and the Nigerian Malaria Control Programme (NMCP) Coordinator Dr. Folake Ayo.
