In a bold move to strengthen healthcare delivery across Ekiti State, Governor Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji on Wednesday commissioned the newly renovated General Hospital in Ifaki-Ekiti, reaffirming his administration’s commitment to providing accessible and quality healthcare for all residents.

The hospital, which now boasts modern medical facilities and improved infrastructure, is expected to serve residents of Ifaki, Orin, Aaye, and neighbouring communities — drastically reducing the burden of travelling long distances for medical attention.

Speaking at the commissioning ceremony, Governor Oyebanji said the renovation forms part of his administration’s holistic approach to revitalizing the state’s health sector, adding that no community in Ekiti would be left behind in the drive for equitable healthcare delivery.

“Our goal is to ensure that every Ekiti resident, irrespective of location, can access quality healthcare in a clean and well-equipped environment. Health is wealth, and our people deserve the best,” the governor said.

He commended the state’s Ministry of Health, contractors, and community leaders for their cooperation, noting that the project reflects his administration’s focus on continuity, collaboration, and community development.

Residents of Ifaki, Orin, and Aaye, who trooped out in large numbers to witness the event, expressed appreciation to the governor for what they described as a “timely intervention” that would save lives and improve living conditions.

Health workers also lauded the state government’s investment in modern medical equipment, electricity supply, and patient-friendly wards, which they said would enhance service delivery and staff morale.

The commissioning of the Ifaki General Hospital adds to a growing list of health projects under Governor Oyebanji’s administration, including the ongoing rehabilitation of primary healthcare centres and the expansion of emergency medical services across the state.

With the latest development, Ekiti residents say the governor is “walking the talk” on his promise to make quality healthcare a cornerstone of his administration’s human capital development agenda.
