The Ogun State Commissioner of Police, CP Bode Ojajuni, has commended the IyawoAlhaji Itoku Community & Development Initiative for its civic enlightenment campaign, describing it as a noble initiative loaded with civic responsibilities.
The commendation came on Thursday, 30 October, 2026, when the Founder of the Initiative, Comrade Oladunni Patricia Sodipo (IyawoAlhaji Itoku), led her team on a courtesy visit and award presentation to the state Police Headquarters, Eleweran, Abeokuta.
The group presented the Peace and Service Leadership Award to CP Ojajuni in recognition of his outstanding commitment to peace, security, and community policing in Ogun State.
Speaking during the visit, CP Ojajuni appreciated the team for what he described as a “fantastic speech, loaded with noble objectives.”
In his words: “We appreciate your fantastic speech loaded with noble objectives, civic responsibilities, leading advocacy, leading enlightenment initiative, especially at this particular time we are on the match to 2027 general elections,”
The Police Commissioner noted that such voter education campaigns are crucial as the nation prepares for the 2027 general elections, and assured the group of the command’s support.
Earlier, Mrs. Sodipo explained that the Initiative’s Operation Protect Your PVC Campaign, with the theme “From Registration to Protection – PVC Na Your Power”, is aimed at sensitizing market women, youths and community members on the importance of obtaining, protecting and judiciously using their Permanent Voters Cards (PVC).
She thanked the Commissioner for his warm reception, despite his tight schedule and for accepting the award.
The visit, which was kept within the scheduled 20 minutes, was attended by members of the IyawoAlhaji Itoku team, adorned in their signature green “Protect Your PVC” campaign shirts.
IyawoAlhaji Itoku Community & Development Initiative is a
community-based organization, committed to building community and empowering families through market sensitization, youth empowerment, and civic education.
