"During my 3 days oversight function across the Kwara North Senatorial District, We visited Baruteen, Kaiama, Patigi, and Edu LGAs . I am not happy with all our findings because none of this health facilities have required equipments like Scanning machines, oxygen while some can not even be called health centres due to the sorry state they were.

Hon. Owolabi described their findings as result of negligence of the previous administrations and he promised the health workers that the present administration led by Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq will take health and safety of Kwarans as priority.

"I can say without fear that if the previous governments had taken the health sectors and the wellbeing of Kwarans serious I am very sure the story won't be the way it is today."

"i want to commend all the health workers across the Kwara State for their professionalism in discharging their duties and I also want to urge them to do more because Kwarans deserve more. And as I have said to them during my visit, that under this current administration led by Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq and with the support of the Speaker, Rt Hon. Yakubu Danladi Salihu and the entire member of the 9th Assembly of Kwara State the health sector will be given adequate attention." He said.
