Oyo State residents have been advised to take responsibility for the containment of the Coronavirus pandemic and to extract commitment from them.
This was stated on Thursday by Deputy Vice Chancellor(Research, Innovation and Strategic Partnerships), University of Ibadan, Professor Olanike Adeyemo who doubles as the team lead, Oyo State Covid-19 Decontamination and Containment Committee during Stakeholders’ Town Hall Meeting with the theme: Responsibilities and Actions Towards Containment.
She declared that today’s engagement was designed to intimate stakeholders that the state doesn’t have 50% compliance to the COVID-19 Protocols.
In his welcome address, the Deputy Chief of Staff to Oyo State Governor, Abdulmojeed Olawale Mogbonjubola said COVID-19 was not peculiar to Nigeria alone despite the fact that the Vaccine has been discovered and no evidence that the vaccine is available, hence the need for today’s stakeholders forum to aid the containment of the pandemic.
Mogbonjubola lauded Makinde’s decision to decentralize decontamination and containment committees in other zones.
The programme had in attendance, the PA to the Governor, Alhaji Akeem Azeez, Special Assistant on Community Relations and Students Affairs as well as leaders of the Hausa Community, Igbo Community, South South and leaders from the informal sectors.
