As preparations intensify for the 19th Annual Public Health Lecture 2025 organized by the Association of Medical Laboratory Scientists of Nigeria (AMLSN), the Local Organizing Committee (LOC) has stepped up engagements with key stakeholders to ensure the event’s success. The LOC, led by its Chairman, Dr. Valentine Wuyep, recently paid a courtesy visit to the Plateau State Government House to follow up on a formal letter addressed to the Executive Governor, His Excellency, Barr. Caleb Manasseh Mutfwang, who is billed to serve as the Special Guest of Honour at the high-profile event.
The LOC delegation was warmly received at the Government House despite the unavailability of the Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Architect Samuel Jatau, and the Chief of Staff, both of whom were said to be on official assignments on behalf of the Governor. Representing the AMLSN Plateau State Branch during the visit were the State Branch Chairman, Mr. Martin Dagen Agwo, and the Branch Publicity Secretary, Mr. Michael Idoko Abah.
According to Dr. Wuyep, the visit was aimed at consolidating partnerships and reaffirming the Association’s commitment to working with the government to advance Public Health in the State and Nigeria at large. The State Government Officials expressed strong support for the upcoming Public Health Lecture Series and assured the LOC of the Government’s willingness to provide necessary backing for its success.
