The old Chief I. B. Banjoko P.H.C. has been demolished, signalling that the construction of the new building will commence soonest.
A visit to the Ogunoloko health centre also revealed that it is bustling with activities and patients are being promptly attended to.
According to the MOH of the council, Dr. Ubani, “we are grateful to our chairman for his foresight and futuristic disposition. We have lodged various complaints about the old health centre, it’s old and grossly inadequate to accommodate the volume of people usually come for medical attention.
The chairman has promised an ultra modern building and he is about to start. He has also prepared Ogunoloko health centre by providing the needed medical materials that will aid our activities pending when the new proposed building is completed. I am hereby using this avenue to inform our people that we have temporarily relocated, to Ogunoloko centre inside the Secretariat and they will be promptly attended to.
An expectant mother, Mrs Rofiat Adelaja, disclosed that she is happy at the reception and services received at the temporal centre.
“I was at the old health care centre last week and I was directed here. We were told that the chairman wants to build another bigger hospital there. May God continue to be with him.”
