The residents of Aiyetoro in Yewa North local government has commended Ogun State government over the distribution of Treated Insecticide Nets across the 20 local government in the state.
The Insecticide net was widely accepted in the local government by the residents of the community and they vowed to use it since it is for their own benefits.
The Society for Family Health (SFH) concluded the plans to distribute 3.7 million long-lasting insecticide-treated mosquito nets in Ogun State.
Mrs Adeyinka Olamide, SFH Malaria Programme Manager, disclosed this during a media Orientation on Insecticide Treated Nets (ITN) campaign 2021 in Abeokuta.
The objective of the orientation is to provide an opportunity for journalists to assist in creating awareness and enlightening the masses on the distribution of the nets and also have an insight into the mosquito net distribution campaign.

Mrs Titilayo Onamade, a fish seller said she really appreciate the gesture extended to them by the state government and other stakeholders involved by rescuing them from the deadly malaria which has been causing havoc to the community years back.
