Kosofe Local Government Chairman Moyo Ogunlewe inspected the Ogudu 24-hour primary healthcare centre on Thursday, assessing infrastructure and equipment amid ongoing challenges with flooding. He reaffirmed his administration's commitment to improving healthcare delivery, stating that quality medical services remain a critical priority. During the visit, Ogunlewe toured sections of the facility impacted by recurrent flooding and directed relevant departments to implement a permanent fix.
The chairman emphasized that environmental issues must not disrupt healthcare access, saying, "We cannot allow environmental challenges to hinder healthcare delivery." He pledged continued investment in primary healthcare centres to ensure a safer, more conducive environment for staff and patients. Ogunlewe also engaged with patients, nursing mothers, and healthcare workers, listening to their concerns and assuring them of sustained support.
Oluwatoyin Adebayo, Officer-in-Charge of the facility, welcomed the inspection, noting that flooding has been a persistent problem, especially during heavy rainfall. She expressed confidence in the chairman's promise of a lasting solution. The chairman distributed gifts to babies in the ward, an act appreciated by nursing mother Yetunde Adeyemi, who said the visit showed government concern for residents' welfare. The inspection forms part of broader efforts to strengthen healthcare infrastructure across Kosofe Local Government.
Moyo Ogunlewe claims flooding at Ogudu PHC demands urgent action, yet the problem persisted long enough to become a known issue during his tenure. He promises tangible improvements after a single visit, but residents and staff had already been coping with the damage. The same administration responsible for maintenance only intervened after years of avoidable disruption. For patients and healthcare workers, delays in fixing basic infrastructure mean prolonged exposure to preventable risks.
