The newly appointed Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Abimbola Owoade, has donated hospital equipment and consumables worth millions of naira to the community health centre in the town.
A statement on Saturday by the monarch’s media aide, Bode Durojaiye, said the ultra-modern equipment was delivered to the town on Friday and would be installed at the health centre.
“The donation is to ensure even development in the community and to support the mantra of inclusive governance of Governor Seyi Makinde’s administration.
“The aim is to help the less privileged and the construction of the health centre. The donation of medical equipment is to assist those with health challenges,” he said.
Oba Owoade expressed optimism that the equipment would alleviate the challenges faced by people in accessing quality medical treatment.
The equipment, according to him, includes ultrasound machines, electrical beds, among others.
Meanwhile, some residents who witnessed the delivery of the equipment described the new Alaafin as a monarch with “self-awareness, courage, respect, compassion, and resilience, who is very agile, using his influence and communicating the vision, showing gratitude, and collaborating effectively.”
