Assures Lawmaker of proper management of facility.
The Governor of Lagos State, Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu, on Friday, 21st of April, commissioned an 80-bed space hospital facilitated by Kosofe federal lawmaker, Hon. Rotimi Agunsoye.
Agunsoye in a presentation at the commissioning of the facility, reeled out the account of stewardship of his 8 year tenure, as a federal lawmaker. He also made a plea to the Lagos State government to well-equip the facility with state-of-the-art medical equipment and workforce.

Dr. Abayomi, the Lagos State commissioner for health, in his keynote address extolled Hon. Agunsoye for putting up an enviable performance as a legislator and the quality representation he provided to the people of Kosofe federal constituency in his 8 years tenure.

“You are definitely a Promise Keeper and the number of bills and motions you sponsored and moved on the floor of the House of Representatives, and their range of interest is amazing.

 

“You are a source in the armoury of Government that doesn’t listen to criticisms. You follow your mind and how God speaks to you, and deliver to your constituency, your state and Nigeria.

“I am delighted to honour you and to take over the building”: Dr. Abayomi remarked.

He assured Hon. Agunsoye that the medical facility which he described as the first of its kind in Lagos State would be well equipped with modern facilities and efficiently used in promoting a wellness strategy for the people of the constituency through a well- coordinated preventable medical intervention programme.

 

While noting that the health facility could also metamorphose into a General Hospital, he disclosed that a comprehensive assessment of the facility had already been carried out and modifications would be done, if necessary.

 

As way of keeping the hospital busy, Dr. Abayomi promised to give 1000 vulnerable members of the constituency free Social Health Insurance Scheme for one year, once the facility becomes operational.

 

He Said: “ What we are going to do once this facility becomes operational, we will come here with our Ilera Eko van and we will do a survey of your constituency and if we found 1000 members of your constituency we consider to be living under poverty line we will give them free Health Insurance Scheme for one year as a catalyst to ensure that this place becomes a busy health facility.”  

 

The State Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Hon. Cornelius Ojelabi praised Hon. Agunsoye for bequeathing enduring legacy for the people of Kosofe Federal Constituency, stressing that he touched and empowered many people.

While commissioning the facility, Sanwo-Olu urged the federal state and local governments to ensure efficiency in all healthcare facilities across the country for the benefit of the masses.
