ABSTRACT
Summary Despite the distribution of long-lasting insecticide-treated nets (LLINs)
in Nigeria, access to and use of LLINs continues to be minimal. Little is also known
about the perceived fair price people are willing to pay for LLINs in Ogun State,
South-West Nigeria. Data were collected using semi-structured questionnaire among
pregnant women attending antenatal clinics and mothers of under-five children
in randomly-selected malaria holo-endemic communities of Ijebu North and Yewa
North local government areas of Ogun State. Results showed that only 23.6% of
495 respondents owned and were using LLINs. One of the main reasons for non-use
of LLINs was unaffordability of LLIN cost. 84.2% of the 495 respondents were willing
to pay at a hypothetical price of N800.00 (US$5.00) for a LLIN, 15.6% were
unwilling and 0.2% was indifferent to buying it at the price. Their willingness
