OYOSUBEB said this came to the fore when the OYMASED Team, led by Morohunkola Thomas, OYMASED Director General, paid an advocacy visit to the Chairman, OYOSUBEB, Nureni Aderemi Adeniran in his office.

Thomas announced that the visit was aimed at sensitizing the younger ones in their formative years on the right morals and responsibilities, stating that the Agency was established to among other things foster sustainable socio-economic development in Oyo State.

“We will sit with your team at OYOSUBEB to establish frameworks for educating, orienting, pupils and setting up an Integrity Club in schools.”

Responding, Nureni Adeniran commended OYMASED for its zeal and determination to reach out to the young ones, especially those in public schools.
