Alao-Akala inaugurates coaster buses for 3 health institutions

 

The Governor of Oyo State, Chief Adebayo Alao-Akala, in Ibadan inaugurated new coastal buses for three health institutions in the state.
The institutions are the School of Hygiene, School of Nursing and School of Midwifery, all located in Ibadan metropolis.
Alao-Akala called on the students to judiciously utilise the vehicles and pledged that his administration would continue to give education top priority.
In a related development, the governor also inaugurated a new office complex built by the Ibadan North-East Local Government Council.
The governor reiterated his administration's determination to ensure that the dividends of democracy got to every nook and cranny of the state.
He called on the people, no matter their political affiliations, to cooperate and support his government.
In his address, Council Chairman Ayinde Adewusi said that the office complex had been abandoned since 1995.
“It became an eyesore to everyone that visited the local government headquarters, but today, we give all glory to God for the successful completion of this project,” Adewusi said..
Adewusi said that since the inception of his administration, the council had partnered with the National Directorate of Employment (NDE) on vocational training for 300 unemployed persons in the area.
He called on the governor to assist the council by providing vocational tools for the NDE trainees so that they could be self-employed.
