Pay adequate attention to your children, Iwajowa LG chairman’s wife charges mothers

WIFE of the Chairman, Iwajowa Local Government Area of Oyo State, Mrs Muyibat Oyinloye, has charged mothers to pay adequate attention to their children’s upbringing in order to secure their mental and ethical development.

Mrs. Oyinloye gave the charge during her visit to the Primary Healthcare Centre, Iganna, to present gifts to mothers of newly born babies in the council area.

According to her, mothers have significant role to play in the life of a child, right from birth by ensuring that adequate care and health needs, such as consistent breastfeeding and routine immunisation are provided when needed of the child.

Oyinloye, in a release signed by the council’s Information Officer, Matthew Olatunde further said that mothers need to monitor the growth of their children and general behaviour to bring the best out of them in order to make the parents proud.

To achieve this, Oyinloye, therefore, charged mothers to show care towards their children to prepare them for future life challenges.

While presenting gifts to the first baby of the year in the council area, given birth to by Mrs. Ramotalah Humaru at the Primary Healthare Centre, Iganna, Oyinloye stated that the gesture of giving out gifts to new babies was to demonstrate the importance of Governor Seyi Makinde’s administration attaches to the well-being of all and sundry in Oyo State.

She further charged the mother of the new baby and other nursing mothers to ensure that all routine immunisation are taken for their children that are under stipulated ages for the vaccines.

In her response, Mrs Hamaru, a Fulani who spoke through an interpreter, expressed gratitude to the council for the gesture.

Oyinloye was accompanied by wife of the Vice Chairman/Administrator of Iganna LCDA, Mrs Bello Raliat-Olori; Matron, Mrs Ruth Adegoke, and other council officials.
