The Executive Director of the Delta State Primary Health Care Development Agency (DSPHCDA), Dr. Paul Yinkore, has led a delegation of health experts on an advocacy and courtesy visit to the Ministry of Information and the Ministry of Women Affairs, Community and Social Development in Asaba.
The visit was aimed at informing the Ministries about the forthcoming Measles–Rubella Vaccination Campaign scheduled to hold from January 31 to February 9, 2026, targeted at children from ages 9 months to 14 years, and to solicit their support in disseminating information and mobilizing residents across the state.
Receiving the delegation at the Ministry of Information, the Delta State Commissioner for Works (Rural Roads) and Public Information, Mr. Charles Aniagwu, assured the Agency of the Ministry’s full support toward the successful implementation of the vaccination exercise and pledged to deploy available media platforms to ensure wide advocacy, sensitization, and public awareness across the state.
The team also paid a courtesy visit to the Ministry of Women Affairs, Community and Social Development, where they were warmly received by the Commissioner, Hon. Princess Pat Ajudua.
She reaffirmed the Ministry’s commitment to the success of the campaign and promised to disseminate information through crèches across the state, Ministry-owned schools, and other appropriate channels.
“You will hear our voices from this side. We have crèches across the state and schools under the Ministry of Women Affairs. Whatever you need us to do, just let us know—we already know what to do. We will also run advertisements and jingles,” she stated.
Hon. Ajudua prayed for a 95 percent success rate for the exercise by the grace of God and called on other Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs) to cooperate fully toward the successful realization of the campaign.
