description Background: Malaria continues to remain a global challenge. The study assesses Malaria in Pregnancy Prevention Information Comprehension and Adherence. Methodology: A descriptive survey using the IMB model. A validated questionnaire was used to gather information from 404 ANC attendees. Descriptive statistics and frequency distributions were employed in the analysis of data and simple linear regression analysis was used to determine the relationship among variables. Results: The result showed respondents' mean age of 28.74 ± 68.07, married (70%), self-employed (48.8%), Muslims (52%) of Fulani ethnic origin (25.3%), and secondary educational attainments (39.9%). Information on the 22-point scale reported a mean of 17.8 (0.1) ± 1.9 having a significant relationship with behavioral skills (r = 0.199 and R2 = 0.040), p <0.0001 and adherence (r= 0.114 and R2= 0.013), p-value <0.022; Comprehension on 74-points scale reported a mean score of 47.6 (0.6) ± 12.5. Motivation on the 40-point scale reported 28.4 (0.2) ±3.7 having a significant relationship with behavioral skills (r= 0.255, R2= 0.065), P-value= <0.0001 and Adherence (r= 0.159, R2=0.025), P-value= <0.001). Behavioral skills on a 36-point scale scored 30 (0.2) ± 3.2, having a significant relationship with Adherence (r= 0.101, R2=0.010), P value= <0.042). Adherence on 45-point scale reported 27.1 (0.3) ± 5.0. However, respondents achieved an adherence prevalence rate of 60.2% away from the minimum adherence rate of 95%.  Conclusion: Though information facilitates behavior change, this is not guaranteed. Recommendation: Motivational components should be inculcated in all behavior change interventions than the usual clinic-based counseling.
