…..Says Ekiti Now Enjoying Positive Gains of Continuity,

The Governor of Ekiti State, Mr. Biodun Oyebanji, has disclosed that Ekiti citizens have started savouring the positive gains of continuity of governance under his leadership, saying the state would have developed faster across all economic facets, if the trend had continued since 1999.

Oyebanji spoke on Thursday, while flagging off the construction of a 80-bed multipurpose Medical Building at the Ekiti State University Teaching Hospital, Ado Ekiti (EKSUTH), as part of activities marking his istration’s second anniversary.

Oyebanji, who disclosed the contract would be completed within a spate of one year, said he decided to devote huge resources to develop the health sector, knowing the importance of a healthy population to nation building .

Oyebanji disclosed that continuity of government from the istration of the former Governor Kayode Fayemi to him, has positioned his istration to seamlessly deliver democracy dividends to the people.

"We have an economic roap 2021 to 2030 to serve as a guide to whoever that is leading Ekiti State. Whoever you bring as a governor will perform, except such person is not ready to work. We were able to do all these projects effortlessly because of continuity of government and being part and parcel of a future-thinking government. What you are witnessing is positive gains of continuity of government.

"Whichever projects I commissioned are for Ekiti and they were financed through Ekiti's money. Only a stupid government will abandon the project of his predecessors. I am here to serve you, not myself. If we have continued in this track since 1999, we would have gone beyond this level that we are", the governor said.

Describing the hospital project as a masterpiece that will change the face of the tertiary health institution, Oyebanji posited that it will help in securing full accreditation for some courses being offered in the teaching hospital.

"This project is very significant because it will help in securing accreditation for more courses. You can't underrate the importance of a healthy population to national growth, because health is wealth. There is no development anywhere you have high number of sick people.

"EKSUTH has a special place in my heart. This is the only tertiary health institution that we have and where most of the people will come to for safety during illness. We will continue to do our best to uplift the facilities here for quality health delivery", Oyebanji stated.

Oyebanji added that his istration is currently renovating nine out of 22 secondary health facilities in the state, disclosing that they will be equipped with requisite machines and personnel when completed.

The governor urged the women to patronise the Oncology Centre at EKSUTH, saying the expensive Mammogram Machine that was installed by government might be useless, if not well deployed for early detection of breast cancer.

Underscoring the significance of the structure when completed, the Commissioner for Health and Human Services, Dr. Oyebanji Filani, maintained that it will further project the image of government as being incurably concerned about the welfare and wellbeing of the citizens.

Attesting that Oyebanji has really consolidated in offering people the best health services, Filani disclosed that the recent National Demographic Health Survey, vividly revealed that Ekiti has performed excellently well in the last four years in of health indices.

Also, the EKSUTH's Chief Medical Director, Prof. Kayode Olabanji, stressed further that the medical facility will help in ensuring quality healthcare delivery to the populace and will add value for the purposes of accreditation, where structures always place role.

Prof Olabanji was highly enthralled with how the governor has shown keen interest in the growth of the medical facility, by increasing monthly subventions that took off January, 2024, while also granted approval for the training of resident doctors and ensuring uplift of equipment in the tertiary institution.

"The project is going to be a legacy project. The facility will create more space for our staff and patients. It will give confidential and private treatments for our people and improve quality of our services. It is timely and thoughtful".

Speaking glowing about Oyebanji's commitment to the growth of the health sector, the Chairman, Nigerian Medial Association, Dr. Ifedayo Oreyemi, hailed the governor over full transition of the school of Nursing into a full fledged College, installation of a Mammogram Machine, payment of medical residency training fund, provision of hostels in the Nursing College and payment of medical allowances to staff, among others.

Great to see the Ekiti State Governor, Mr. Biodun Oyebanji, investing in healthcare infrastructure. The new 80-bed multipurpose hospital facility at EKSUTH will surely improve healthcare services in the state. This is a positive step towards a healthier population and overall development.

That's good

Ole! This thief can only deceive those living outside Ekiti with his lies. If you enter ekiti, you'd pity that state as we speak. The major road leading to that state starting from Itawure is not able. People now divert their cause at itawure, to Okemesi and then ikoro, to burst out at ijero ekiti, before proceeding to ado ekiti via aramoko. His stealing will be pro max compared to fayemi's. I'm in ekiti right now
