By Bankole Taiwo<\/p>\n

Ogun State Government has reaffirmed its zero-tolerance policy for Gender-Based Violence, child abuse, and all forms of exploitation, announcing that there will be stricter enforcement, coordinated prosecution, and uncompromising accountability for offenders in the year 2026.<\/p>\n

This was just as it reaffirmed its commitment to recognising and rewarding excellence in public service as a strategic pillar for effective social development, institutional integrity, and sustainable governance.<\/p>\n

The Commissioner for Women Affairs and Social Development, Adijat Adeleye, stated this on Friday while unveiling the ministry\u2019s policy direction for the year during the ministry\u2019s new year get-together and award ceremony held at the Valley View hall, Government\u2019s House, Abeokuta.<\/p>\n

Adeleye described the event as a deliberate convergence of policy reflection, capacity building, and celebration, designed to align stakeholders, sharpen institutional focus, and set a firm policy tone for the year, with women\u2019s empowerment, child protection, and inclusive social development as central priorities.<\/p>\n

Reflecting on achievements recorded in the past year, the Commissioner attributed the growing impact of the Ministry to purposeful leadership, strong political will, and a clear reform agenda.<\/p>\n

She expressed profound appreciation to Gov Dapo Abiodun for providing an enabling policy environment that prioritises social inclusion, safeguards the vulnerable, and strengthens institutional performance across the state.<\/p>\n

Adeleye noted that the governor\u2019s leadership has translated vision into measurable outcomes for the children, women and the vulnerable.<\/p>\n

She further emphasised that the Ministry\u2019s agenda for 2026 was firmly anchored on results-driven governance, citizen-centred service delivery, and inter-agency collaboration.<\/p>\n

Adeleye added that, \u201cWith the full support of security agencies, justice-sector institutions, and credible whistleblowers, the year 2026 will be extremely tough for perpetrators of Gender-Based Violence, child abuse, and all forms of exploitation.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will enforce the law without fear or favour, protect survivors decisively, and ensure that every offender is exposed and prosecuted\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cPolicies and programmes in the new year will focus on prevention, early intervention, survivor support, and justice delivery, ensuring that social protection frameworks are not only responsive but also resilient, measurable, and sustainable\u201d.<\/p>\n

The Commissioner acknowledged the critical contributions of development and implementing partners, including UNFPA, OGSTEP and the Japan International Cooperation Agency, among others.<\/p>\n

She noted that the partnerships have gone beyond financial support to deliver technical expertise, policy innovation, institutional strengthening, and international capacity-building opportunities for staff.<\/p>\n

The Commissioner said that exposure to global best practices has significantly enhanced professionalism, efficiency, and accountability in service delivery in the Ministry.<\/p>\n
