Former Governor of Ondo State, Dr Olusegun Mimiko, will tomorrow Tuesday, deliver the 7th Kola Olafimihan lecture holding at the College of Health Sciences, University of Ilorin (UNILORIN) Kwara State.
Mimiko, according to a statement signed by his Special Assistant on Media, John Paul Akinduro, will be speaking on “Sustainable Practice to Reduce Maternal Mortality in Nigeria: My Experience” and is expected to focus on result-based evidence of the highly successful Abiye Safe Motherhood programme which he pioneered while in the saddle as governor of Ondo State.
Abiye, the home-grown novel health interventionist programme, successfully reduced infant and maternal mortality rate in Ondo state by over 70 percent and was identified by the World Bank as a potent method for tackling infant and martenal mortality in Africa.
The Vice Chancellor of UNILORIN, Prof. Sulyman Age Abdulkareem, will chair the event.
