In his welcome address at the re-commissioning of the renovated PHC, the project team lead, Michael Ogunkoya appreciated Governor Sanwo-Olu and his team for giving the fellows a platform to bring out their hidden talent.

He said before the hospital was renovated, the health centre being re-commissioned lacked good structure and sustainable energy systems.

“Today, I am pleased to announce that we have installed a solar inverter system, upgraded the structure and introduced Electronic Medical Record (EMR) systems.”

Apart from renovation of the health centre, the fellows also organised medical outreach, campaigns against domestic violence, among others within Ikosi Isheri communities.

Speaking at the event, Lagos State Head of Service (HoS), Mr. Olabode Agoro, charged youths in the country to brace up for leadership challenges and contribute their quota to the development of the nation.

The Lagos HoS, who commended the fellows for their contributions to the development of the society, urged other youths to emulate them.

“We are looking for youths to become part of the government, join the government because if you don’t join the government, you won’t have a say in creating policies, by joining the local government, state civil service and public service.

“You are the future, we need people to handover to, we need them at local, state and federal levels, we need them in the system, so that things like this can be promoted further,” he said.

The Chairman, Ikosi-Isheri Local Council Development Area (LCDA), Mayoress Samiat Bada appreciated the fellows for the laudable programme aimed at improving healthcare services in the area.

She also acknowledged the effort of the Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu and his Deputy, Dr. Obafemi Hamzat for ensuring development at the grassroots.
