“Get It Together” is aimed at raising awareness about family planning, emphasizing its benefits to men and women of reproductive age, increasing contraceptive use among women and increasing access to family planning services. This campaign is expected to better the previous family planning campaign in Nigeria themed “Wait For Me” which was launched in 1989.

It kicked off with renowned artistes Onyeka Onwenu and King Sunny Ade releasing two songs titled‘Choices’ and ‘Wait For Me’, with the latter track sung in Pidgin.
