Featuring a stellar lineup of Nigeria’s top music talents — including Omawumi, Waje, Timi Dakolo, rising star Qing Madi, and chart-topping singer Spyro — the anthem underscores a vital message: no child should be left without protection against preventable diseases such as polio, measles, and others.
The title, “No More Zero Dose,” directly addresses the pressing issue of zero-dose children — those who have not received any vaccinations. Through heartfelt lyrics like, “We can do better for the children, we want better for the future,” combined with rich melodies, the song lays bare the inequalities in healthcare access across Nigeria and calls for urgent action to bridge the gap.
In a press statement, Cobhams explained the inspiration behind the song:
"Music has always been a powerful tool for change. With ‘No More Zero Dose,’ we aim to shine a light on the pressing issue of healthcare inequality in our nation and bring attention to the vital need for vaccination, especially for children in vulnerable communities."
Each artist brings a unique essence to the project. Omawumi and Waje’s commanding vocals intertwine beautifully with Timi Dakolo’s emotive depth, while Qing Madi’s youthful vibrancy and Spyro’s distinct flair add a contemporary edge, creating a harmonious yet urgent call to action.
The release of "No More Zero Dose" is particularly timely as global discussions around vaccination and public health continue to grow. Backed by UNICEF and launched as part of activities marking World Immunisation Week, the song serves not only as a musical triumph but as a rallying cry for stronger healthcare policies and community-driven efforts to ensure no child is forgotten.
By blending artistry with advocacy, Cobhams and his collaborators amplify the critical conversation about childhood vaccination, emphasizing that the future health and prosperity of Nigeria hinge on protecting its youngest citizens today.
"No More Zero Dose" stands as a moving reminder that music can be a catalyst for change — and that with collective effort, the goal of universal vaccination coverage is within reach.
