While stressing on the theme for this year’s celebration 2025 celebration “Malaria Ends with Us: Reinvest, Reimagine, Reignite” with the slogan “Stay Committed”, the commissioner revealed that the ministry of health has intensified the community’s sensitization, expanded rapid diagnostic testing and treatment access, trained frontline health workers, volunteers and enhanced surveillance and reporting systems through the partnership with Private Organizations, Religious bodies, ward development committees, National Malaria Elimination programme, PMI-S, GHSC-PSM, WHO, Rotary and the Malaria Consortium.

Children under five and pregnant women bear the greatest burden, as malaria not only robs individuals of their health and opportunity but also stalls socio-economic progress and diminishes quality of life across entire communities.”

“We must translate our commitments into action by implementing evidence-based policies, securing robust funding, engaging communities as active partners, and holding ourselves accountable for measurable results.”

He encouraged residents of Akinyele to take malaria prevention seriously, urging them to properly use insecticide-treated nets and promptly visit appropriate healthcare facilities for diagnosis and treatment.

He commended Governor Seyi Makinde for his outstanding performance across all the sectors, particularly as it relates to achieving Goal 3 of the sustainable development goals.

In their separate remarks, the representatives of the World Health Organisation, Breakthrough Action Nigeria, US President Malaria Initiative for State PMIs, GHSC- PSM, WHO, Malaria Consortium and host of others lauded the Oyo state government for creating an enabling environment for the actualization of partnership arrangements, assuring the government of continuous collaboration and support towards achieving zero malaria in oyo state.
