The Chairman described the project as a milestone and legacy initiative aimed at ensuring equitable access to healthcare for residents of the area.
Atanda-Lawal further promised that the project would be delivered on schedule within four months, despite initial delays caused by land-related issues.
According to him, the council has consistently increased salaries and allowances for medical doctors over the years. He reassured that those who will work at the new facility will enjoy a robust welfare package.
Clarifying his position on succession, Atanda-Lawal emphasized that he has not endorsed any successor but hopes the next administration will continue his legacy of people-centered projects.

The new primary health care center, estimated to cost several million naira, will feature 34 bed spaces and modern medical equipment.
The Council Manager, Mrs. Seriki Kehinde, commended the chairman’s administration for prioritizing healthcare.
She highlighted that the project would significantly boost healthcare delivery at the council level by addressing a critical need of the people.
