| Lagos governor, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu, interacting with pupils during an unscheduled his visit to their school. Onikan Health Centre in
Obalende area of Lagos State received an unusual visitor on Thursday. Governor
Babajide Sanwo-Olu, at some minutes past 10am, knocked at the gate of the
state-owned medical facility in a surprise visit, taking its workers unawares. The Governor was at the
facility for an on-the-spot assessment of the operations of the health centre. Received by the
hospital’s Obstetrician and Gynaecologist, Dr. Oreose Imosemi, Sanwo-Olu was
conducted round the wards to assess the state of facilities. The Governor also
engaged patients at random to ascertain the quality of care they received and
footed medical bills of some patients who could not afford the cost of care.In
a brief meeting with all the employees after the inspection, Sanwo-Olu
expressed satisfaction with his observation, but encouraged them to address
some observed lapses. He used the occasion to share details of his
administration’s healthcare road-map with the hospital’s employees, pleading
for more commitment among the health workers in order to realise the objectives
of programmes. The governor left the
hospital for another unscheduled stopover at St. Peter’s Anglican Nursery and
Primary School in Ikeja, where he spent ample time to educate the pupils on the
importance of hygiene and clean environment. READ

PROJECT While engaging class
pupils of Primary 5, Sanwo-Olu advised them not to litter their school premises
and surroundings with refuse, urging them to make use of the provided waste bins. He said: “When you get
back home today, tell your parents I was in your school today to say hello to
you. Tell them that I care for your future and I will provide all that is
required for you to get quality education and become leaders as you grow up. I
also need you to remind your parents that the Government does not want them to
dump refuse indiscriminately. “We want to make sure
that you all grow up in a safe and clean environment. You will grow to become
adults one day, but we don’t want to bequeath polluted environment to you. On
our part, we will provide the necessary materials for your wellbeing, but you
need to face your studies so that you can make me and your parents proud.” The Governor thereafter
inspected classrooms and teaching facilities in the school, pledging that some
of the noticed challenges would be addressed. Thank you for reading. Got comments? Kindly post them with your name on the Comment box below. |
