In a strategic move set to enhance healthcare services and staff welfare within the Eredo Local Council Development Area (LCDA), kakalistiq.com reports that Hon. Ismail Akinloye, Chairman of Eredo LCDA, inaugurated a newly refurbished nine-room nurse quarters on Monday. The ceremony, held at the council premises, saw heartfelt applause from medical staff and community leaders, who lauded the council’s commitment to healthcare advancements.
Present at the commissioning were key government officials, including Hon. Lateef Adesanya, Eredo LCDA Vice-Chairman; Hon. Tunde Bakare, Leader of the House; Dr. Fehintola Bolaji, Medical Officer of Health (MOH); and Princess Felicia Ogunsanwo, Supervisor for Health. The dignitaries were welcomed with a warm reception as they acknowledged the Chairman’s achievement in bringing such an essential project to life.
Reflecting on the significance of the project, Hon. Akinloye described the renovated quarters as a “symbol of renewed dedication to the well-being of our healthcare heroes.” He continued, “This is more than a building, it’s a pledge that we care about our nurses’ welfare.
