Over the past two months, soaring temperatures across Nigeria have made staying fresh and comfortable more difficult.
From navigating crowded spaces in sweltering conditions to repeatedly wiping away sweat, the discomfort has been widespread.
For those with active lifestyles or constantly on the move, maintaining proper hygiene has become even more demanding.
Building on the momentum of its first edition, which introduced the #OwnTheSweat campaign to communities across the country, Dettol Cool returned with a more immersive approach.
With #OwnTheSweat 2.0, the focus was on deeper, more engaging experiences within environments where movement and physical activity are part of everyday life.
At the centre of this experience is the Dettol Cool antibacterial bar soap.
It is designed to support active lifestyles with triple-action benefits: 99% germ protection, a cooling sensation that lowers skin temperature by up to five degrees, and long-lasting defence against body odour, even during intense physical activity.
The initiative came to life through a series of pop-up activations engaging participants in real time and reinforcing the connection between active living and everyday hygiene.
Rather than simply promoting freshness, the initiative demonstrated how it fits seamlessly into daily routines.
The campaign kicked off in key fitness hubs across the country.
At each location, participants took part in interactive fitness challenges led by trained instructors, transforming routine workouts into engaging experiences.
These sessions created a practical link between performance and hygiene, allowing participants to experience the brand in context.
At the Lagos NYSC Camp, the brand engaged corps members through fitness challenges, dance competitions, and interactive quizzes led by fitness instructor, Ekemini “Kemen” Ekerette. Standout participants were crowned as ‘Cool Champions,’ and received Dettol Cool branded merchandise.
Speaking on the campaign, Marketing Director at Reckitt West Africa, Boma Harrison, noted that the initiative #OwnTheSweat was designed to meet Nigerians in their everyday routines.
“With #OwnTheSweat2.0 by Dettol Cool, we wanted to go beyond awareness and create real, engaging experiences in spaces where people are most active, such as the gym.
It’s about showing that staying cool, fresh and maintaining good hygiene can be simple, even in demanding conditions.
You can rely on Dettol Cool to get the job done,” she said.With #OwnTheSweat 2.0, Dettol Cool reinforces its commitment to supporting active lifestyles and helping Nigerians stay fresh, protected, and confident on the go.

The Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, under the Benin Zone has warned of imminent industrial action if the government continues to breach and disrespect the collective bargaining and binding agreements to which both parties are signatories.
DAILY POST reports that the union issued the warning at a press conference on Thursday, May 21, 2026, in Benin City.
The universities under the zone include the University of Benin, UNIBEN, Ambrose Alli University, AAU, Ekpoma, Adekunle Ajasin University, AAUA,, Akungba, Olusegun Agagu University of Science and Technology, Okitipupa, OAUS, Delta State University, DELSU, Abraka, Federal University of Petroleum Resources, FUPRE, Effurun, University of Delta, UNIDEL, Agbor, Dennis Osadebay University, DOU, Asaba and Southern Delta University, SDU, Ozoro.
Speaking at the briefing, Prof Monday Lewis Igbafen, the ASUU Zonal Coordinator, said in 2025, the Federal Government of Nigeria and ASUU had an agreement that was formally unveiled on January 14, 2026, by the Nigerian State.
Igbafen opined that the unveiling marked what they believed would be the end of years of struggle to renegotiate the 2009 Agreement and secure lasting industrial harmony in the nation’s public universities.
He alleged that the federal university administrators are, however, selectively and partially paying Consolidated Academic Allowances, EAA, and professorial allowances.
He noted that the development violated the agreement, which directed that all allowances must be mainstreamed into the Consolidated University Academic Staff Salary as part of monthly salaries for professors.
Igbafen also accused state governors of refusal to comply with the agreement, alleging that nearly five months after the Federal Government directed full implementation, many state governors who are visitors to state universities have refused to act.
The coordinator of the Benin zone, particularly accused the governors of Edo, Delta and Ondo States who are under the zone of reneging on the agreement.
According to him, we condemn the partial and non-implementation of the salary component of the 2025 FGN/ASUU agreement. This is a recipe for an industrial crisis in our universities.
“We berate the Edo, Ondo, and Delta State governments for failing to implement the agreement five months after the Federal Government’s directive. We urge them to comply immediately or face industrial action on their campuses.
“The government remains insensitive to outstanding issues, unpaid arrears of the 25-35 % salary award, promotion arrears, unremitted third-party deductions, salary shortfalls from IPPIS errors, and the withheld three-and-a-half months’ salaries from the 2022 strike”, he said.
While commending the management of the Federal University of Petroleum Resources, Effurun, FUPRE, for the full implementation of the agreement, he however, lamented the non-implementation by the University of Benin, UNIBEN.
The Zone also condemned plans to discontinue certain academic programmes in Nigerian universities, describing the move as risky and capable of weakening the country’s higher education system
Igbafen posited that the attempts to scrap courses deemed “irrelevant” undermine the university’s autonomy and academic freedom and would be opposed.
“The government unilaterally announced plans to scrap courses deemed” irrelevant”, a move that undermines universities’ autonomy and academic freedom and it would be rejected,” he added.
Other concerns of the zone are the alleged policy inconsistencies in education, where the minister of education Dr Maruf Tunji Alausa announced the plan reversal of the mother-tongue policy in early childhood education, which undermines pedagogical evidence and national policy coherence.
Igbafen, further condemned the federal government’s plan to establish a campus of Coventry University in Nigeria under the transnational education framework, which was made without consultation.
He contended that it is an aberration for the government to establish a campus of a university in the United Kingdom in Nigeria when over 140 publicly-owned universities are underfunded.
He appealed to all lovers of Nigeria to prevail on both federal and state governments to fully implement the agreement and resolve outstanding issues without further delay.
The Benin zone of ASUU, however, warned that public universities face imminent paralysis if the government continues its old tactics of disrespecting collective bargaining and binding agreements.
