I 'll Make Quality Healthcare a Right for Every Ekiti Citizen - Oyebanji.

I 'll Make Quality Healthcare a Right for Every Ekiti Citizen - Oyebanji.

...Commissions drug warehouse, distributes equipment to PHCs.

Ekiti State Governor, Mr Biodun Oyebanji, has promised to ensure quality healthcare becomes a right for all  citizens and not a privilege, in order to ensure improved life expectancy and sustain the mileage reached in the control of child and maternal mortality rates. 

The Governor said his administration has resolved to fight headon, the menace of drug counterfeiting that could predispose the citizens to sudden death and surge of emergency ailments that have capacity to cause death and infirmity in the society. 

Oyebanji stated these in Ado Ekiti, on Thursday while flagging off distribution of equipment to Primary Healthcare Centres (PHCs) and the commissioning of the Pharma-Grade Warehouse located within the precinct of the Ekiti State University Teaching Hospital (EKSUTH).

Governor Oyebanji said Primary Healthcare facility is significant to improved life expectancy, being the closest and most affordable to the people at the grassroots.

He stated that  the new pharma-grade warehouse of the Drug Management Agency and the distribution of medical equipment to PHCs facilities, are demonstration of government’s commitment to the health of the people and a reflection of growing capacity to attract partnerships and investments that strengthen the economy and improve the quality of lives.

He disclosed that the  warehouse, built with the support of the Global Fund, stands  as a key pillar of an effective and transparent drug management system and provides the Drug Management Agency with the infrastructure it needs to operate at the highest professional standard.

Oyebanji was upbeat that the facility will ensure the continuous availability of quality, safe, and affordable medical supplies for hospitals and health facilities across the state.

Speaking further at the colourful event, Governor Oyebanji revealed that the Agency’s average monthly revenue has spiraled from ₦28 million to ₦75 million, demonstrating greater efficiency, accountability, and sustainability of drug supply system. 

He was enthralled that  about 200,000 Ekiti residents have benefitted from Ulera Wa health services, and nearly 750,000 people have benefited since the inception of the initiative that had reduced out-of-pocket expenditure for health services, and bolster access to quality healthcare.

'With this facility, Ekiti State now has the capacity to maintain an adequate supply of medicines and consumables, prevent frequent stock-outs, and effectively curb the circulation of fake and substandard drugs within our borders. It represents not just an investment in infrastructure, but in the health security of our people.

"The results speak for themselves. Before the establishment of the Drug Management Agency, only about 43% of health facilities in the state had regular access to essential medicines. Today, that figure has risen to 89%. Primary healthcare coverage now stands at 80%, while both secondary and tertiary facilities have achieved 100% coverage'.

Oyebanji added that the revitalization of 103 primary health care facilities across the 16 local government areas under the World Bank-supported IMPACT project, was a strategic investment that will  complement the  broader push toward Universal Health Coverage.

The Governor stated that his government is making  deliberate efforts to improve the welfare of health workers through enhanced salary structures and had approved the employment of 100 additional health workers for PHCs and 150 for Secondary Health Facilities to close existing manpower gaps. 

Earlier in his speech, the Commissioner for Health and Human Services, Dr. Oyebanji Filani, said  the speedy way with which the Governor approved the counterpart funding, was responsible for the approval given to the State to have the warehouse, noting  that Ekiti was initially not on the radar of states to benefit from the project.

Dr Filani stated that  the equipment provided for the PHCs across the wards and the 16 local governments will enhance the proficiency of health workers and help in tackling child and maternal mortality, morbidity and broaden access to healthcare at the grassroots level. 

"This project could not have been achieved, but for the speedy way the governor approved the counterpart funding for the project. This is not only way of fulfilling a vision of his administration, but he has done it for the entire people of the state who are expecting improved healthcare delivery and I know they will be grateful to this administration for this project".

The General Manager, Ekiti State Drug Management and Supply Agency, Pharm Olajide Kolawole, said the project was remarkable, owing to the fact that it was the first in the country and a loud testament to the shared prosperity and avowed promise to give every citizen a safe, improved and secured healthcare delivery. 

In a bid to attain Universal Health Coverage, Kolawole , said  the agency has signed a memorandum.of understanding with reputable international agencies to ensure effective drug acquisition, regulation  and supply in the state.

Ekiti State Governor, Mr Biodun Oyebanji, has expressed  condolences on the death of the first Bishop of Catholic Diocese of Ekiti, the Most Reverend Michael Olatunji Fagun.

Bishop Fagun died on Monday at the age of 90.

The Governor described Bishop Fagun's death as a monumental loss to the government and people of Ekiti State.

In a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr Yinka Oyebode, Governor Oyebanji described Bishop Fagun as a legend of faith and a committed soldier of faith who gave his all in service of God and humanity.

He described Bishop Fagun as a man of impact, a fearless preacher who spoke truth to power and a role model to many people.

The Governor acknowledged the selfless service of the deceased as a priest and as a respected spiritual father who preached peaceful coexistence among adherents of different faiths and religions in his lifetime.

He noted that the deceased pioneered the Catholic Diocese of Ekiti and contributed to making the Church a beacon of light and an agency of spiritual rebirth and revival of the faithful.

Governor Oyebanji said Bishop Fagun fought a good fight of faith, left legacies of integrity, humility, selfless service and love and care for the less privileged which should be emulated by contemporary leaders.

“On behalf of the Government and good people of Ekiti State commiserate with the Catholic Church and the family of the late Bishop Fagun on the passing of the great servant of God and pray that the good Lord grant his soul eternal rest”, the Governor added.

As Ekiti State commemorates the third anniversary of Governor Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji’s administration (BAO), we take a moment to reflect on the extraordinary leadership that has characterized this impactful governance . Governor Biodun Oyebanji has displayed not only keen vision but also a deep commitment to inclusivity and an unwavering dedication to the well-being of the Ekiti people, laying a strong foundation for the state’s promising future.

From the very beginning, Oyebanji's devotion to the welfare of Ekiti citizens has been clear. His policies have been thoughtfully crafted to address the diverse needs of the populace, revealing his genuine responsiveness to the challenges faced by Ekiti residents.

What truly sets Governor Oyebanji apart, however, is his penchant for political tolerance and collaboration. His ability to unite stakeholders from various political spheres showcases his commitment to a harmonious governance style. This inclusive approach is not merely a political maneuver; it enriches decision-making by welcoming a multitude of perspectives.

Gov Oyebanji's engagement with stakeholders across the political spectrum underscores a fundamental tenet of his leadership: governance is a shared responsibility. By valuing contributions from all sectors, he cultivates a culture of meritocracy that builds trust and cooperation among diverse groups.

At the core of this effectiveness lies Governor Oyebanji's personable nature. Renowned for his humility, he leads by example, inviting citizens to actively participate in the state's development. His open-door policy promotes transparency and fosters a sense of trust, creating a vital connection between the government and the people.

Moreover, Governor Oyebanji’s accessibility to Ekiti people, attentive response to their concerns and promptness in addressing critical issues  distinguishes him as a leader who genuinely cares for his people .

As we celebrate Governor Oyebanji’s achievements over the past three years, it is evident that he has set a benchmark for responsible and inclusive governance. His compassion, principles of service, empathy, and collaborative spirit have reignited hope among the people of Ekiti State.

Of course, the journey is far from over. But as Mr Governor moves into the next phase of his administration, there is a palpable sense of optimism. Looking forward, the groundwork he has established—characterized by community engagement, innovative economic initiatives, and robust infrastructural developments—promises a bright and progressive future for Ekiti State. 

Hence, let us raise our voices in recognition of three years of meaningful change and anticipate many more accomplishments to come from BAO, the leader to emulate!
