As part of efforts to further improve services at the centre, the chairman disclosed that discussions would begin with the Health Secretary of the Ado-Odo/Ota Local Government Health Authority, Dr. Jeleel Bakare, and the council’s Director of Works to identify additional interventions needed within the facility.
