Gov Oyebanji urges residents to patronise govt hospitals
Gov. Biodun Oyebanji of Ekiti has urged residents in the state to patronise government hospitals in their communities and justify the government’s huge spending on the renovation and equipping of the hospitals.
The governor stated this when he received in his office a delegation of leaders from Ifaki Ekiti led by a former governor of the state, Segun Oni, on Tuesday in Ado-Ekiti.
He said that his government was currently renovating nine general hospitals with state- of- the- art equipment and manpower.
This, the governor said, was to allow as many people as possible to have access to quality and affordable healthcare at the government hospitals.
M4 Oyebanji noted that any community desirous of upgrading their hospital must first take ownership of such hospitals by encouraging their residents to patronise it.
He said that the ongoing hospital renovation was aimed at giving the best to the people in the provision of quality healthcare services.
The governor assured the Ifaki community that his administration would soon embark on radical intervention in the provision of electricity, pipe borne water, road rehabilitation and erosion control in the area.
Earlier, Mr Oni had expressed satisfaction with the level of peaceful coexistence among the various people of the state and among the various political leaders in the state.
According to him, Mr Oyebanji has succeeded in giving great respect to Ekiti leaders as well as serving as a uniting bridge to all politicians irrespective of their political inclinations.
While commending the governor on the ongoing work on Ado to Ifaki road, Mr Oni urged Mr Oyebanji to also consider the Ifaki – Esure road.
Other members of the delegation included Olufaki of Ifaki Ekiti, Oba Adegbenro Falore, president of Ifaki Progressive Union,Olanrewaju Bakare and some notable leaders of the community.
The delegation came to express appreciation to Mr Oyebanji and his government for various development projects and programmes the community has benefitted since the inception of the administration.
