Prof Adinma said Dr Adeyanju was chosen for
the honour following his outstanding performance in promoting the status
of Maternal Care as a commissioner under the leadership of Governor
Olusegun Mimiko.
He said the Awardee is a Community
Physician by training but an Obstetrics and Gynecologist in action whose
Governor Mimiko has identified to help actualise his vision and did not
fail in that area.
The Society President said the Award was
a collective decision of the society in recognition of the projects
that epitomise best practices of maternal health care delivery of the
Ondo State Government and to serve as catalyst for him to do more and
for others to learn more from the traits of the Awardee and his
Governor, Dr Olusegun Mimiko.
He said apart from humility, Adeyanju
exhibits all virtues and indices that benchmark best practices as he
thanked God for Governor Mimiko who identified the Awardee and gave him
the opportunity to exhibit his talents.
In his remarks at the ceremony, Governor
Olusegun Mimiko said the Award to Dr Dayo Adeyanju is a well-deserved
one because, he said, all the successes recorded in the area of
qualitative healthcare services could not have happened if not for the
ingenuity of Dr Adeyanju and the commitment of his health workers in the
State.
Represented by his Chief of Staff, Dr
Kola Ademujimi, the Governor described his Health Commissioner as a
workaholic, dedicated, committed, diligent and reliable as he thanked
SOGON for recognising him for the Award.
He said Adeyanju has always exhibited
hardwork and diligence in his various assignments as Special Assistant
on Health and later Commissioner for Health in the last Seven and half
years.
