A Social- Political group, Ado Odo Development
Foundation (ADF) has called on Ogun state government to build a modern Hospital
for the community.
The organization regretted that despite the large
population and contributions by the community, there is no infrastructural
development.
Speaking recently at a launching of N50,
000,000.00 to resuscitate the abandoned community hospital project initiated in
early 80s, chairman of the organization, Mr Olukayode Akapo, lamented the
insensitivity of the government to the health care delivery in Ado Odo saying
that ADF had earlier donated relief materials such as mattresses, pillows,
freezers and hospital beds to the two primary health centers in the community.
Akapo, urged the Ogun state Governor, Senator
Ibikunle Amosun to look into the problems of health care system in the area and
provide solutions by improving and upgrading the facilities in the health centers.
The chairman maintained that the organization will
continue to support and ease problems of health care delivery in Ado Odo.
According to him “we are not going to relent on
our efforts to ensure that our people have access to good health care, but we
want government to upgrade our health care delivery system.
Chairman of the occasion, Professor Oludayo
Amokaye, admonished the organization for their noble roles to improve health
care delivery in the community.
Amokaye regretted that the community hospital
initiated in early 80s has been neglected by succeeding governments of the
state, therefore, challenged governor Amosun to complete the project.
According to him “the idea of a community hospital
is a lofty initiative but considering the huge capital involvement it requires
government support “we are calling on the Ogun state government to join hands
with the community to complete and make it functioning”
Chairman, Ado Odo Local Council Development Area,
Hon( Engr) Saeed Alagbe assured his administration’s support to ensure rapid
development of the area.
Alagbe disclosed that he had held a consultative
meeting with stakeholders in the area on how to stimulate growth and increase
investment in the LCDA.
He commended Senator Ibikunle Amosun for
establishing a multi million Naira school project in the area, assuring that
his administration will lay a good foundation by using agriculture to develop
the area.
