On her part, the programme coordinator of Oye2foundation Miss Precious Fasiku informed the commissioner and her team that the purpose of the visit was to intimate the ministry with the vision and mission of the foundation and to seek areas of support, partnership and collaboration in the fight against cancer.
In his own remarks, pharmacist Oyedapo Idowu went down memory lane about the reason for the establishment of the foundation in memory of a friend and family member Ms Oyenike Oyekan who passed away due to cancer in 2020 and which galvanized family members and friends to honour her memory with a foundation dedicated to the cause of cancer in our society.
He spoke at length on the activities of the foundation in the areas of cancer awareness, screening, prevention and social welfare in the last five years.
The commissioner then yielded the floor to some of her team members to make contributions, and the director of public health Dr. Babatunde Olaniyan and the PS Dr. Akintunde Kehinde thanked the team for the visit, but advised that the foundation should focus on specific areas of cancer because it is too broad to be addressed as a whole.
The commissioner Dr. Mrs. Oluwaserimi Ajetunmobi while also toeing the line of her team members, assured that the ministry is open to collaborating and partnering with Oye2foundation in the specific areas of cancer concern.
The Oye2foundation then presented a plaque of appreciation to the honourable commissioner of health Oyo State Dr. Mrs. Oluwaserimi Ajetunmobi.
