The Speaker of the Kwara State House of Assembly, Hon. (Dr.) Ali Ahmad, has commended the initiative of members of Igbomina Project North America and Landmark University Omu-Aran Kwara State for collaborating to ensure medical care is available on major highways in the state and also provision of Community Healthcare.
The Speaker who gave this commendation while receiving the Project Implementation Committee members in his office lauded them for not forgetting their source.
He stated that, “government cannot do everything all alone, there is need for collaborations like this so as to tackle the many challenges facing our people. A medical service touches the very core of our people and we are happy you have decided to pick up the gauntlet. We shall be monitoring your progress and at the right time we shall come in to appreciate your efforts.”
Earlier in a joint address delivered by a member of the committee, Engineer Stephen Ojeleye, the group disclosed that they are a non-profit group based in the USA with the aim to complement government’s efforts in bringing the best of medicare to the people by all ways possible.
According to the group, their area of intervention is in the provision of ambulances in strategic places in the state with several medical equipment and supplies to be used in the course of the project.
The group said they had already taken delivery of one of the Ambulances which was brought to the House. They however disclosed that they “intend to ship in as many Ambulances as possible to help in rescue missions on our roads in case of emergency. When these Ambulances are stationed at areas like Ilorin-Omu-Aran to Kwara boundary and Ajase-Offa road they will greatly help motorists who ply these routes.”
The group therefore solicited for the moral support of the Speaker and members of the House towards the official project inauguration of the group which will be coming up on the 13th of July,2017 at Landmark University, Omu-Aran.
The Project implementation Committee comprises of Bar. Olasunkanmi Olorunnisola,Dr. Ademola Adebanjo, Engineer Agboola Ojeleye, Elder Lanre Awoniyi, Dr. Oluwasegun Adeniyi, and Mrs. Jumaai Ndako.
