The chairman of Ilaje Local Government, Hon. Amona Maurice Oripenaye, made this call during an unscheduled visit to some hospitals in Ilaje Local Government area.

Oripenaye, while commending the health workers for their service to humanity, admonished them to be more proactive in their line of duty.

He said, “the purpose of this unscheduled visit is to ascertain the availability of health workers at their workplaces and to understand the health challenges confronting our people through their medical records, so that we can take positive steps to address them.

“This visit is a deliberate effort to ensure the availability of workers at their duty posts and to identify our people’s health challenges.

“Health is wealth; therefore, our health workers must make every effort to be available at their workplaces and improve the health conditions of patients in our hospitals.
