…Inaugurates New Health Centre in Sura
Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu, friday, officially reopened the redeveloped and upgraded Iga Iduganran Primary Healthcare Centre in Isale Eko, which was razed in 2020 in the aftermath of protests against police brutality.
Sanwo-Olu said the scope of health services being provided in the PHC had been expanded from its initial capacity, upgrading the facilities to a semi second medical centre.
The facility is fitted with a dedicated power source to provide constant electricity throughout the period of operation daily.
The Governor said: “I am handling this upgraded Primary Health Centre back to the community to continue to serve people’s medical needs. This intervention is part of our rebuilding efforts to restore all public facilities destroyed by hoodlums three years ago.
“We prioritised this project because it is a key component of the objectives to improve human capital.
Oba of Lagos, Oba Rilwanu Akiolu, who led residents to the grand reopening of Iga Iduganran PHC redeveloped by Rebuild Lagos Trust Fund and Zenith Bank, urged residents to take responsibility of maintaining the PHC, urging them not to allow hoodlums gathered close to the facility.
Sanwo-Olu also commissioned another Primary Healthcare Facility built in Sura by the Chairman of Lagos Island East LCDA, Hon. Muibi Folawiyo.
The Governor praised the council boss for expanding access to quality healthcare in the area. He urged other council chairmen to emulate the example, stressing: “we must raise the capacity of our PHCs.”
