The Office of Senior Special Assistant on Sustainable Development Goals (OSSAP-SDGs) has inaugurated a 20-bed primary health centre and renovated the existing Primary health Centre, in Isokun, Oyo West, Oyo state.
During the brief handing over, Adejoke Orelope-Adefulire, the senior special assistant to the president on sustainable development goals (OSSAP-SDGs), who was represented by Nura Ali Rano, thanked President Bola Tinubu for his leadership and dedication to collaborating with sub-national governments to deliver crucial interventions and accelerate the achievement of the SDGs in Nigeria.
She reiterated the importance of the SDGs as a global call to action to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure peace and prosperity for all by 2030.
In alignment with President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, she stressed the need to prioritise interventions with significant impacts on multidimensional poverty, such as basic healthcare, vocational skills development, and education.

Given the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, she said strategic projects like the Mother and Child Centre have become essential.
Yunus Akintunde, Oyo central senator, who facilitated the project, expressed his gratitude to Tinubu and OSSAP-SDGs for selecting his constituency for the project.
He described the primary health centre as the biggest in Oyo state while emphasising the state’s commitment to fully utilising the facility, as part of a broader plan of mitigation that will reduce the need for residents to seek medical treatment outside the constituency.
