Soun of Ogbomosoland, Oba Afolabi Ghandi Olaoye has donated medical equipment worth millions of Naira to the Bowen Teaching Hospital, Ogbomoso, Oyo state.
Oba Olaoye who presented the equipment on behalf of the Ogbomoso First Community Initiatives( O’ First group) tasked the management of the teaching hospital on specialization.
The monarch said ‘ The last time I met with the management I shared my 25 years development plan with them and I told them I want them to be specialists in some aspect of the medical line that will attract funding and professionals to the hospital.
‘It helps the community, because those people who have the kind of ailment you specialize in will come to different parts of the country for treatment and that will boost the economy and medical tourism value chain”.
The monarch equally acknowledged and appreciated the efforts of O’first Group for their consistency in making Ogbomoso development their top priority.
”You have done great things two times within a week, this is a personal challenge for me and a challenge to other socio- cultural groups in Ogbomoso. We all need to do this together and I know we can start with a piece at a time and I know we will get there.
“The second we will consider is a low hanging fruit of development so as to make it easier for the development which is encapsulated in my 25 years plan”, he addee.
Oba Olaoye, however, tasked the management of the Bowen teaching hospital to make proper use of the equipment and maintain them properly.
