Oyebanji restates commitment to improved health care facilities

Ekiti State Governor, Mr Biodun Oyebanji has reiterated the commitment of his istration towards ensuring comprehensive renovation of all government hospitals across the state.

The Governor disclosed this when he paid an unscheduled visit to the General Hospital, Ilawe-Ekiti on Monday. He said his istration embarked on the renovation of all health facilities in the state in order to ensure effective health care delivery system in the state.

Governor Oyebanji, who was conducted round the hospital complex by the Chief Medical Director, Dr Oladimeji Ashafa; expressed dissatisfaction over the current state of the Ilawe hospital. He, however, said he was happy that he came to see the situation by himself, adding that regular inspection of facilities and projects across the state would be a major feature of his istration.

He urged the workers in the hospital not to be discouraged by the physical structure, assuring them that the hospital would be captured in the next phase of the hospital renovation project, which he said was being done in phases.

He also called on prominent Ekiti indigenes across the state to contribute their quotas in ensuring the well being of government facilities in their localities.

The Governor, who made a personal donation of a 7.5kva generating set to the hospital to boost its services and bring about effective service delivery, assured that the hospital would get a facelift very soon as it was bound to be captured in the subsequent phase of hospital renovation exercise.

Addressing the staff of the hospital after the inspection, Mr Oyebanji commended them for their perseverance, commitment and dedication to their duty in spite of the challenges of dilapidated facilities and structures in the hospital.

“I have seen the situation at this General Hospital, Ilawe Ekiti, I am not happy about it but it is good that I have come, we will go back and see what we can do. Renovation of hospitals has started and it is an ongoing project. Inspecting facilities is going to be a permanent feature of my istration, I want to see things for myself.

“I don’t want you to be discouraged and don’t want you to despair because you are dealing with lives, you may not like this situation, it would have been worse than this if you were not here. I want you to be encouraged and as a government, we would you. And I will also talk to prominent indigenes of this town to do something about the facility here.” He said.

Also, addressing some residents of the town, the Governor assured them that the road from Ilawe to Ikere Ekiti would be revisited as his government has begun the process to mobilize the contractors handling the project to site.

He also assured youths in the state that government would soon inaugurate programmes that would empower them calling on them to key into the programme aimed to cut across party lines.

Earlier, the Governor had also paid an unscheduled visit to the Technical College, Igbara Odo, where he inspected ongoing renovation of the school. He said his istration would boost vocational education and make it attractive to the citizens as one of the pathways to entrepreneurship.

Things should be cheap in this country to enable young minds invest in areas of their expertise

There is a story where Peter Obi visited a secondary school when he was governor.

The infrastructures of the school were spent and he was appalled.

He could have made promises and insinuations that in the next state budget, an allocation for the school maintenance will be included.

Obi didn’t. He did what any right thinking leader should do. The state of the school required an immediate response. It was an emergency that couldn’t wait. He didn’t leave the school making false promises, he acted immediately.

He wrote a cheque and gave the cheque needed to fix the school right away.

There is no reason why such shouldn’t be the template by which our elected officials act, especially in respect to infrastructures that are critical to the people.

The time between the visit and the time , a concrete action is taken, how many would have died?

Also, it’s not enough to fix infrastructures, it’s also important to fix the employees sense of maintenance. You go to some public institutions and the employees in charge of such institutions watch, as the whole infrastructures crumble into delapidations.

All of these requires money, and if our institutions are embedded as welfare institutions, they may struggle with generating an income to sustain their own maintenance. But then who said they can’t provide such welfare function and yet be a revenue source? That’s what a right thinking government is about.

Although, a public hospital. There is no reason why it cannot aspire to be a reference hospital and even be an income generating hospital for the government. It will be such, when the hospitals are equipped and their is great maintenance culture. Then it can compete with the likes of First cardiology hospital. If the hospital has a reputation for relief, the hospital can earn the money, Nigerians traveling abroad for healthcare are currently expending. There was a time, people travelled from other Africa countries to seek healthcare in UCH. We can return to such a time.

Is there any good reason why it shouldn't work the alternate way? In the first place, treat your tension. Then, at that point, fix your mental episodes. That is the primary methodology. Mental breakdowns are brought about by broad tension. This is valid. Mental breakdowns are more normal in individuals who have more significant levels of uneasiness than those without.
