Shammeh to  rebuild Apena PHC soon

By Damilola Kushimo

The Chairman of Isolo Local Council Development Area (LCDA), Hon. Shamsudeen Olaleye will rehabilitate

Apena Primary Healthcare Centre (PHC) soon.

He made the promise while responding to questions from journalists in his office over the legacy projects commissioned to commemorate his third year in office.

He explained that having built two of the seven PHCs, his administration will not stop at road rehabilitation which many people use to measure the performance of government.

He said he has decided to raise the bar of governance in the council area by positively touching all sectors of development before leaving the office.

Earlier, the council leader, Hon. Remy Shittu Remy, who represents Apena Ward had said he would intimate the council boss on the need to improve on some of the basic facilities at the PHC following his assessment visitation to the centre last week.

Olaleye said: “People often lose sight of the fact that council, as it is, has the responsibility to ensure that our PHCs are running. People don’t really know that the council has big responsibility to see that public primary schools are running, all of these are what we take care of.

“We have seven PHCs, two of those seven were actually built by this administration and what is the worth of our health centres if they are not functional. I am bold to say that all these PHCs are working but, that is not to say that we are not sometimes faced with the challenges of rehabilitating them. We have just rehabilitated Oke-Ogbere PHC. We are moving down to Apena PHC but right now, we are working on Ilasamaja PHC which is the flagship PHC.”
