“Justify your Health reforms with Recruitment of new staff to the sector” – Osun Residents appeal to Gov.Oyetola.
Osun Residents have appealed to the present administration of the State led by Governor. Gboyega Oyetola to consider in his rehabilitating health plans and agenda, the recruitment of more professional staff to the sector in order to justify its ingenuity and purposive intention in revitalizing the three hundred and thirty-two (332) Primary Health Care Centres and five (5) General Hospitals in the State.
The appeal came to a fore during a weekly live programme tagged ‘Idagba S’oke,” an Audience participatory programme that beams a searchlight to the contribution of the Government and participation of the General Public to the Development of their immediate environments and nation as a whole sponsored by the Justice, Development and Peace Makers Centre of Osogbo in collaboration with Misereor in Germany.
According to Mr. Abbey and Mrs. Sade Akinola, who both called in live expressed their opinion that “it is very important for the state Government to scale up its focus also to the recruitment of more professionals in the field to fill the revitalized system so that it will not amount to the philosophy of mission to nowhere,however, we must not but commend the thoughtfulness of this present Administration for shifting the course of dividends of democracy to the Health sector, having grasped the fact of life that Health is wealth.”
Other callers who commended the State Government on the level of work done so far were Mr.Adebare from Awo in Egbedore Local Government, Alfa Abdulahi and Mr. Ibraheem Ilesanmi from Ikirun.
They all gave kudos to the Government for the parts that have received adequate attention of the government and other areas that are work in progress.

2019 Presidential Election: JDPMC’s IFES Final Report exposes Flaws, calls for full enforcement of Campaign Finance Laws
2019 CFM FINAL REPORT- WEBSITE PUBLICATION
Democracy has become within the global community the ideal socio-political principle for the organization of
modern human society. This is so given its unparalleled capacity to uphold Justice, fairness, the advancement
of common good in the evolution of human society, its efficiency in the pursuance of communal vision and
facilitation of channels of cooperation for the entire international community.
The development of Democracy within various sovereign nations of the global community significantly rest
upon the reflection of justice, fairness and the freewill of the citizenry especially contestants and the electorate
in the electoral processes of such nations. In other words, the extent which the electoral legal frameworks and
the general administration, conduct and participation in election uphold justice, fairness and freewill already
set the ground for the direction or evolution of such nation.
This is why Nigeria along with other nations of the global community experiencing stagnation and crisis of
development are intensifying through multi-stakeholders approach the consolidation of electoral legal
frameworks, popular participation, conduct and management of electoral processes as the a significant
pathway to promotion of the good of their citizenry and catching up with global advancement in culture, in
technology and economy.
It is in this sense that the regulation of Campaign Finance is foundational to a dividend yielding democracy.
This is so considering the role it plays in creating a level playing ground for all contestants in election,
determining the level of influence of individuals and interest groups on the electoral process and the extent of
the freewill of voters.
It is from this background that the ―”Justice Development and Peace Makers Centre Osogbo in partnership with
the International Foundation for Electoral Systems with sponsorship from USAID and UKAID embarked on a
project to monitor the campaign financing of political parties ahead of the 2019 presidential election. It did so
by tracking the expenditures of these parties on campaign activities from the commencement of campaign in
November 2018 up to February 23 2019 the rescheduled date for the presidential election”
The sole aim for embarking on the project was to promote level playing ground for all contestants of elections
in Nigeria. JDPMC was the implementing partner of the project while IFES mobilized fund for the project and
provided technical support.
This document contains details of the reports of the project as implemented following planned strategy aided
