In its bid to intensify efforts at ridding our local communities of malaria, Yewa South Local Government team of Insecticide Treated Net (ITN) Campaign, 2024 has appointed the Chairperson of Yewa South Local Government , Pastor (Mrs) Odunayo Ogunsola as its Net Advocacy Ambassador.
The team, led by Engr. Bright Akpoteheri, on behalf of the Society for Family Health and their partners, conferred the status on her at the flag off ceremony of the net distribution campaign at Leslie Primary Health Care (PHC) Center in Ilaro on Tuesday, 19th November, 2024.
He submitted that Pastor Odunayo Ogunsola will help ITN , " to propagate and promote the usage of ITN nets across the 10 wards and 710 settlement of the local government area."
He said "She will act in that capacity for the ITN from the moment she was conferred the honour till the next replacement campaign, probably in three to four years time."
The group made her the poster lady for the free ITN distribution campaign hoping her status as the Chairman's wife and grassroots facilitator will help bring home ITN's message to the people, especially the poor and vulnerable who actually need the free nets.
