The Committee according to Governor Oyetola will leverage on the quick rehabilitation and revitalization of 332 Primary Healthcare Centres across the state.

Oyetola said the present administration in the state decided to constitute the Committee as part of efforts to meet the critical needs of the citizenry on health sector.

Governor Oyetola said the development is in line with the agenda of his administration to build healthy citizens by ensuring that every resident of the state has access to health facilities.
