The Ogunruku family of Ido-Ekiti in Ido/Osi Local Government Area of Ekiti State has donated a six-bedroom apartment to Federal Teaching Hospital, Ido Ekiti, to immortalise one of its members, Ifelola Aina-Ogunruku.
Spokesman of the family and former Registrar of Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Osun State, Mr. Ayorinde Ogunruku, said that the late Aina-Ogunruku, who was a personnel of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, died as a bachelor 10 years ago.
Ogunruku said, “The structure was put in place from the death benefit paid by EFCC. The apartment will provide shelter for relatives of patients in the hospital. The family unanimously agreed to immortalise Aina-Ogunruku who died as a bachelor”.
A press statement by the Head, FETHI Corporate Affairs, Francis Bank-Akinnuoye, the hospital’s Chief Medical Director, Prof. Adekunle Ajayi, who took delivery of the building on behalf of the hospital’s board and management, said, “This donation from the Ogunruku family is laudable. It is part of critical stakeholders’ efforts in moving the hospital to the enviable height.”
The EFCC Chairman, Abdulrasheed Bawa, who was represented by Mr. Babatunde Ayodele, said that the Ogunruku family had demonstrated exactly what the late anti-graft warrior stood for while in active service.
Bawa charged Nigerians to always fight corruption, saying corruption was a monster and virus that had eaten deep into the system
