On his first day in office, the Oyo State Commissioner for Information and Orientation, Prince Dotun Oyelade, kick-started the Oyo State Social Mobilization Technical Committee in partnership with the United Nations Children’s Fund, UNICEF.
The Committee, which was relaunched on Thursday at the
Ministry of Information and Orientation, Secretariat, Ibadan, had been
abandoned since 2018.
During the relaunch in his office, the Commissioner said
the Ministry will work with relevant agencies to undertake effective public
awareness.
He said the Ministry will ensure proper orientation of
households on the need for disease prevention among children and women in
some affected communities in Oyo State.
Prince Oyelade said the Ministry of Information and
Orientation will intervene in the progress of children’s well-being in the
state, in conjunction with other ministries, departments, and agencies.
The relaunch, which was attended by the UNICEF Social Behavioural
Change Specialist and other stakeholders from Media Houses, and MDAs agreed to
meet quarterly.
"We will cooperate with you and ensure everything
within the purview of our job is done with utmost zeal," Prince Oyelade
said.
Speaking, the UNICEF Social Behavioural Change
Specialist, Aderonke Akinola-Akinwole, said the quarterly meeting will ensure
attitudinal change for results among parents and caregivers for a healthier Oyo
State.
She urged MDAs and relevant stakeholders to work with
UNICEF and the Ministry of Information and Orientation on achieving this new
goal.
Also in attendance was the Permanent Secretary, Ministry
of Information and Orientation, Dr. Taiwo Ladipo and Directors.
Earlier, Prince Dotun Oyelade met with the management
team of the Ministry, led by the Permanent Secretary, Dr. Taiwo Ladipo.
The Permanent Secretary noted that Prince Oyelade has the
requisite expertise, integrity, courage, and experience to oversee the affairs
of the Oyo State Ministry of Information and orientation.
The new commissioner is the immediate past chairman of
the Broadcasting Corporation of Oyo State, BCOS, Ibadan.
