The Senator representing Kwara Central in National Assembly, Dr Ibrahim Yahaya Oloriegbe has yet again extended the facilitation of medical equipment to Oke-Suna Primary Health Center, in Ilorin East Local government area of the state.
The Senator represented at the handing over of the items to the facility by his media aide, Bolaji Aladie, reaffirmed his unwavering commitment to people-centred representation that upholds the canons of equity and fairness which ultimately affords all constituents equitable access to dividends of democracy.
He said this is the fourth health facility in the local government to have benefitted from such equipment to boost the services available to the people.
Oloriegbe who is the chairman Senate committee on health added that this is aside from other health and non-health related initiatives aimed at improving the well-being of the people that had been facilitated to enhance collective growth.
According to him “We are determined in our resolve to deliver representation grounded on equity and fairness to provide opportunities for the people whose collective hankering for development inspired a drive that compels us to put our shoulder to the wheel and justify the clamour for positive change.
“This yearning has, to the glory of God, brought about the considerable feats we have been able to record in the last three years.
“From inception, we have been committed to providing equitable representation in a fashion that creates avenues for people to be gainfully engaged and become instruments of prosperity and development to Kwara Central and the state at large.
“We urge you to make judicious use of these items to achieve the purpose for which they were facilitated.”
The officer in charge of the clinic, Yusuf Aduke Salamat commended the Senator for finding their clinic worthy of benefitting from the gesture whilst giving assurance of proper usage to serve the patients.
“We feel happy that our clinic is also joining the long list of beneficiaries of this remarkable intervention from our Senator.
“We have been hearing about his strides from our colleagues in various health facilities, however, it had now reached our turn in Oke Sunnah, we can therefore give testimony to the uncommon gestures of Senator Oloriegbe,” she said.
“These items would not only give face-lift to our centre but will at the same time boost our service capacity as many of the existing items we have had broken down and were in a state of disrepair.
We thank Dr Oloriegbe for using his representation to change the fortune of the health sector in the country as well as in Kwara Central. If others before him had been representing us this way, we would have improved beyond this level,” she added.
The Chairman of the Oke-Sunnah Development Association, Mallam Uthman Shuaib on behalf of the community expresses appreciation to Oloriegbe for offering what he described as “outstanding services” to the people of Kwara Central.
He maintained that posterity will never forget to reference the unique leadership of the lawmaker whilst praying to Allah to continue to put him in positions where he can serve humanity more.
