Akin Jimoh, Program Director of Development Communications Network (DEVCOMS), has emphasized the importance of modern family planning methods, citing the high failure rate of traditional methods. According to Jimoh, traditional methods have a failure rate of over 50%, whereas modern methods are more effective and tailored to individual needs.
During a courtesy visit to Punch Nigeria Limited, Jimoh highlighted the need for accurate information and public health education on family planning. He commended Punch’s commitment to critical reporting and expressed interest in collaborating on public health and science journalism.
DEVCOMS aims to address challenges in family planning, including security, education, maternal health, and unsafe abortions. The organization offers training in public health and science journalism and seeks to partner with Punch to share technical expertise and promote family planning efforts.
In response, Demola Oni, General Manager of Digital and Publications at Punch Nigeria Limited, assured DEVCOMS of a mutually beneficial partnership.
