The Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Abimbola Owoade has donated hospital equipment and consumables worth millions of Naira to the community health centre in the town.
In a statement in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital, on Saturday, the Alaafin’s media aide, Mr. Bode Durojaiye said that the ultra-modern equipment was brought to the town on Friday and would be installed at the health centre.
He said: ‘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 and donation of medical equipment is to help those with health challenges’.
