Akure sociocultural group in Ondo State, known as the Ooye Development Initiative (ODI), has lauded President Bola Tinubu for approving the Teaching Hospital project in Akure.
They also praised the Ondo State governor, Hon Lucky Aiyedatiwa, for the State Executive Council’s recent approval of the transfer of the University of Medical Sciences (UNIMED) Teaching Hospital complex to the Federal University of Technology, Akure (FUTA) as its College of Medicine and Teaching Hospital.
In a release signed by its President, Mr Tokunbo Jegede, the group commended President Tinubu for his love for Akure and Ondo State in general, as well as the state government for its dedication to the cause of the Teaching Hospital, especially its bold moves towards its actualisation.
Last Thursday, the State’s Commissioner for Health, Dr Banji Ajaka, announced the move as one of the resolutions of the State Executives, explaining that it was a result of President Tinubu’s approval for FUTA to establish a College of Medicine and a Teaching Hospital. Ajaka also maintained that the Akure hospital complex would be ceded to the Federal Government to serve as FUTA’s central medical sciences facility.
“The handover includes the transfer of staff infrastructure, equipment, and liabilities. All employees will be absorbed into FUTA Teaching Hospital under the Federal Government,” he stated.
