Represented by the wife of the vice president, Hajia Nana Shetima, Tinubu praised the council for the initiative, stating that it would improve access to healthcare in the community.
She noted that the project supports the current administration’s goal of providing affordable healthcare for all Nigerians.
“This project aligns with the Renewed Hope Agenda of His Excellency, President Bola Tinubu, which prioritises the health and well-being of all Nigerians, especially women and children.
“I commend the Executive Chairman, Mr Fuad Lawal, for his commitment to grassroots development. This PHC stands as a testament to what responsive and people-centred governance should be.
“This project is not only about the present but also the future,” she said.
Tinubu also expressed gratitude to the council for naming the facility in her honour.
She encouraged community members to take responsibility for the project to ensure it fulfills its intended purpose.
“I urge health workers, community leaders and residents of this community to take ownership of this centre. Also, I thank the chairman for naming it in my honour,” she said.
Speaking, the wife of Lagos governor, Mrs Ibijoke Sanwo-Olu, also thanked the council chairman for the project.
She said, “Today, we are witnessing the dividends of the Strategic Local Government Autonomy Policy, formally introduced by His Excellency, President Tinubu, which is a significant turning point in Nigeria’s democratic evolution.
“Lagos State wholeheartedly embrace this policy, and we commend the insightful leadership of Ikoyi-Obalende LCDA.
“The transformative and sustainable initiatives of the council have significantly improved the quality of life of residents of the community.”
She also praised the council chairman for his efforts in improving infrastructure, promoting economic empowerment, creating jobs, and enhancing social welfare.
According to her, the chairman has played a key role in transforming the LCDA into a more vibrant and developed community.
In his remarks, Lawal noted that the health centre is one of the significant projects completed since he took office in 2017.
“The PHC will serve the entire community by providing prompt medical attention. The bold economic reforms of President Tinubu, such as the removal of fuel subsidy and the granting of local government autonomy, greatly helped to deliver this project.
“We believe that true governance is realistic and possible, and I know that my successor will not start from scratch, but consolidate on all the things we have put in place for our people,” he said.
