In a bid to enhance state-media relations and foster positive development, Lens AfricaTV has strengthened its partnership with the Osun State Ministry of Home Affairs. The CEO of Lens AfricaTV, Hon. Remilekun Enitan Oyelowo, paid a courtesy visit to the Honourable Commissioner of Home Affairs, Aderibigbe Rasheed, a meeting that cemented a collaborative relationship aimed at promoting the state’s initiatives.
The warm reception by Commissioner Rasheed, fondly referred to as Asendo, signaled the ministry’s readiness to partner with the media giant. During the engagement, Rasheed commended the Osun State government, led by Governor Senator Ademola Adeleke, for its achievements, particularly through the Ministry of Home Affairs.
Highlighting key projects, Rasheed pointed to the development of a Pilgrimage Village by the ministry. He emphasized that the government has made significant progress in creating essential infrastructure aimed at improving the lives of all Osun residents. The commissioner noted that the pilgrimage village, once completed, would serve as a hub for religious activities and a focal point for tourism in the state, boosting the local economy and enhancing the state’s reputation.
“The Osun State government is committed to ensuring that the infrastructure we develop will benefit every citizen, regardless of their background or status. We are making Osun State a place where everyone can thrive,” Rasheed said, stressing the importance of continued media engagement to raise awareness about these projects.
In response, Oyelowo expressed her gratitude for the commissioner’s open dialogue and invaluable support. She noted that the partnership with the Ministry of Home Affairs would not only strengthen Lens AfricaTV’s operations but also enable the station to better showcase the state’s transformative initiatives. “We deeply appreciate the commissioner’s support and look forward to playing a crucial role in promoting the great strides Osun State is making. This partnership will help us highlight the ministry’s work and show the public how these efforts are directly impacting lives,” Oyelowo said.
The visit underscored the mutual commitment to using the media as a tool to drive state development and foster positive change. With Lens AfricaTV’s reputation as a leading media organization in Africa, the collaboration is poised to amplify the ministry’s voice and reach. Both parties expressed optimism about future projects that will leverage media coverage to spotlight the ministry’s current and future programs.
For Lens AfricaTV, this partnership aligns with its broader mission to support government policies that uplift communities and drive socio-economic progress. The CEO emphasized that working closely with state ministries like Home Affairs ensures that citizens are well-informed about ongoing developments and opportunities available to them.
The meeting marks the beginning of what is expected to be a fruitful partnership, with plans for future media initiatives that will help Osun State showcase its progress under the leadership of Commissioner Rasheed and the dynamic governance of Governor Adeleke. Both parties left the meeting with a shared vision of growth, cooperation, and the continued development of Osun State through comprehensive media coverage.
As Lens AfricaTV continues to expand its influence across Nigeria and Africa, its collaboration with the Osun Ministry of Home Affairs sets the stage for a new era of media-driven development, where state policies and projects are brought to the forefront for the benefit of all citizens.
