Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has said no fewer than 40
communities depend on the only health centre in his village, Ibogun Olaogun, in
Ifo Local Government Area of Ogun State.
Obasanjo stated this during the yearly Ibogun Olaogun Day
ceremony held at the community on Tuesday.
According to him, the health centre in Ibogun needs the
attention of the Ogun State Government to make good health care available to
residents.
“About 40 communities patronise the existing health centre,
while the facility has been overstretched. The health centre needs State
government attention,” Obasanjo said.
The Balogun Owu, while thanking donors for the projects that
have been embarked upon by the community, disclosed that the new town hall and
palace projects would be pursued vigorously.
He promised judicious spending of donated funds to achieve
the completion of the said projects.
In his words, the Coordinator of the Ibogun Olaogun project
coordination, Wole Adebayo, stated that Obasanjo had spent about N15 million on
academic and infrastructural needs at a grammar school in Ibogun during the
2021/2022 academic session.
Earlier, the President of Ibogun Olaogun Community
Development Association, Olatunji Okunade, had appealed to Governor Dapo
Abiodun to upgrade the Ibogun health centre to a General hospital, so as to
effectively serve the health care needs of the people in the area.
