This initiative will be carried out by the Oyo State Mobilisation Agency for Socio-Economic Development (OYMASED) in partnership with the Oyo State Universal Basic Education Board (OYOSUBEB).
According to a statement from the OYOSUBEB Media Team on Sunday, this decision was highlighted during an advocacy visit by the OYMASED team, led by its Director General, Dr. Morohunkola Thomas, to the Chairman of OYOSUBEB, Dr. Nureni Aderemi Adeniran. Dr. Thomas explained that the visit aimed to educate young students on proper morals and responsibilities during their formative years.
Dr. Thomas emphasized that the Agency’s mission is to drive significant changes in people’s attitudes and behaviors through well-designed programs. He stated, “Our goal is to empower residents by promoting productive activities, instilling core values, and providing comprehensive education and mobilization efforts. Our various departments work diligently to achieve these objectives and ensure a brighter future for Oyo State.”
He also mentioned that the Agency plans to collaborate with key organizations like OYOSUBEB to fulfill its responsibilities. “We will work with your team at OYOSUBEB to create frameworks for educating and orienting pupils, and to establish Integrity Clubs in schools,” he said.
In his welcome address, Dr. Adeniran praised OYMASED for its commitment to reaching out to young students, particularly those in public schools. He noted that the Integrity Clubs would help educate students on Civic Education and impart essential societal and citizenship responsibilities.
Dr. Adeniran assured that the Board is always open to collaborations with OYMASED that could enhance the learning experience in the basic education sector. “OYMASED is undoubtedly a strategic partner in our efforts to promote and establish sustainable socio-economic development in Oyo State,” he said.
