Ogun State Governor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun has revealed that the state government would soon establish a cancer centre in the state to bring relief to victims of the scourge.
He said the centre, the first of its kind in Africa, would be established in Sagamu Local Government.
Governor Amosun, who made this disclosure while commissioning a primary health center to mark the first year in office of the Chairman of Sagamu Local Government , Mrs Funmilayo Efuwape, revealed that ‘’arrangements have been concluded to cite first cancer center in Africa in our state.” According to him, “This center would be a Mecca of some sorts as people will throng into Ogun with Cancer issues and cancer related complaints to have the best medical care.” Congratulating residents of Sagamu for being the area of choice for the unique center, the Governor commended the Chairman for buying into the rebuilding mission of his administration with the construction of the ultra-modern primary health center that would help ease health challenges of the people.
Apparently impressed with the level of facilities in the health centre, Senator Amosun said,‘’I invite the World Health Organisation,World Bank and other multinationals to come and see what we are doing here. But this is just a tip of the iceberg because more is still on the way.’’ He said that present administration would not relent in its commitment to fulfilling its electoral promises on health, adding that the on-going educational and infrastructural revolution as well as provision of adequate security of lives and property in the Gateway State were evidence of a new dawn in the state.
The governor noted that ‘’The quality of the roads we are constructing in all parts of the state can rival any good road, anywhere in the world.
‘’Our security has vastly improved. Gradually, we will flush out criminals in the state. Anybody that wants to introduce violence in your community, just open up to the security operatives. We must all join hands together in this crusade,’’ he said.

I jst lyk 2 comment...




HAPI SUNDAY...

This is a welcomed development. I hope it sees the light of the day.

Such initiatives are hard to come by, owing to the calibre of people we have as selected. leaders rulers.

I wonder how much it will cost Nigeria to have sophisticated multi-purpose health centres or special ones.

Why are nigerian governors always saying "the first of its kind in africa" whenever they want to construct a project..... Sounds uneducated....

Really? First iN Africa! Na wa ooo. I thought Turai's Cancer centre was the first (although it has not been completed-what even happened to the money that was donated towards the project?) in Nigeria.

Anyways, I wonder what is the benefit of having the 'first' cancer centre in Nigeria?

He did not even say when it will be established and how long it will take.

Does it mean that Nigerians would wait till he completes it before others build theirs.

He actually reminds me of the 'first to comment crew'.

Goodluck to him sha!

Rubbish!!! even if it is in 10years time u'll keep on telling me Ogun plans this, Ogun plans that?? Why can't u tell me what Ogun State has done?. Rubbish

λ welcome ∂evelopmeηt !

I hope HATERS would get treated their as soon as it is completed cos bad blood leads to cancer.

thats a good news

Jelo4kul: Cancer centre my foot,,dey neva even make research of d drugs in Nigeria talkmore of building a centre for dat. I think dats a cyber cafe centre

I know say you go beef

This method has always worked for me& I recommend to others,because its proven almost fullproof:whenever u want to test d validity& authenticity of any nigerian govt project and u come across d phrase(s);"first in the world";"first in africa","world class,never before done",know its not a viable project& its just an avenue for somebody to scam d country or state.
This Amosun project falls into d categories above,its an avenue to rip off d state.By d way there are cancer centres in south africa

Keneking: How many cancer patients are in Ogun State? How much shall it cost? Is this the priority now in Ogun state? Akute and Lambe roads are bad.

:-- - Sorry your state will be number two if it is not a white Elephant project. Ekiti state just commissioned the first cancer centre on Friday, 11th Oct. In Ado-Ekiti and named it after the former deputy governor that died of cancer. Check out this fact .
