The Chairman of Ogbomoso South Local Government, Hon. Oyedokun Oyeniyi Timothy, has reiterated his administration’s commitment to grassroots development, stating that true governance is not about making noise but allowing the people to feel the direct impact of government initiatives.
Speaking at the Council Secretariat on Tuesday, Hon. Oyedokun fulfilled yet another promise with the distribution of over 45 categories of medical equipment to primary health centres (PHCs) across the local government area.
“This is not about showmanship; it’s about service. We don’t believe in making too much noise — our goal is to let our people feel the presence of government in their lives, especially in critical areas like health,” he said.
The items donated include hospital beds, delivery cots, autoclave machines, suction pumps, foetoscopes, weighing scales, stethoscopes, X-ray viewers, medical furniture, and a variety of diagnostic and treatment tools — all aimed at boosting the quality of healthcare delivery at the primary level.
Full list of donated items includes:
12 hospital beds
2 baby cots with mattresses
2 delivery cots
1 autoclave machine
1 suction pump
4 X-ray viewers
2 centrifuge machines
100 blood sample tubes
Assorted surgical tools and diagnostic kits
Furniture including tables, long chairs, file cabinets, and medicine cupboards
The intervention is in line with the health objectives of Governor Seyi Makinde’s Omituntun 2.0 agenda, which prioritizes strengthening primary healthcare and making essential services more accessible to citizens.
Hon. Oyedokun appreciated the presence of stakeholders and community leaders who witnessed the event and assured the public of more impactful projects in the weeks ahead.
“We remain focused on building a healthier, safer Ogbomoso South. Healthcare is a right, not a privilege, and this distribution is just one of many steps we’re taking to make that a reality,” he added.
Community members and health workers present expressed appreciation for the timely intervention, noting that it would go a long way in improving maternal care, child health, and general medical response at the grassroots level.
