FIC Report (Kwara State) – The wife of the Nigeria President, Senator Oluremi Tinubu has performed a groundbreaking ceremony for Oluremi Tinubu Hospital in Ilorin, the Kwara State capital.
The hospital project, which is designed to be a multi-storey building, is rising from the ashes of the old civil service clinic in the GRA and is meant to offer premium healthcare services for the people of the state and beyond.
Joined by the wife of the Vice President Nana Shettima, Nigeria Governors’ Forum Chairman, his wife Amb. Olufolake Abdulrazaq, and several other first ladies from across the country, the First Lady also flagged off the distribution of 10,000 professional kits to midwives in the North Central region.
Senator Tinubu commended the Governor and his wife for the top-quality hospitality accorded her and her entourage.
“This is the standard we want to see in other states. This is truly amazing. Everything we have seen is of very good quality. Despite the short notice, the hospitality is amazing, and I want other First Ladies to copy this as a template,” she said.
Speaking on the kits presented to midwives, she said: “This is to complement the ongoing federal government’s retraining exercise of 120,000 frontline health workers nationwide. I am informed that the 54,346,000 health workers have already completed their training, and that is why the Renewed Hope Initiatives (RHI) procured 60,000 branded scrubs and 60,000 crocs as incentives to encourage and support the tireless dedication of our midwives,” she said.
Governor Abdulrazaq commended the First Lady for the humanitarian gestures, saying: “The kits will not only ensure that our health workers are well-equipped to perform their duties but also send a strong message of solidarity and hope to those who are devoted to protecting the health of our mothers and children.
