Hon. Damilare Mohammed Bello, the honourable representing Offin, Sagamu 1 State Constituency at the Ogun State House of Assembly has in a decisive move to address critical infrastructure and healthcare challenges, called on the state government to renovate the State Hospital, Ode-lemo, and rehabilitate the 10km Sabo-Ode-lemo road, which links several communities in the Sagamu area.

The Assembly emphasized the dire state of the Ode-lemo hospital, which serves as a lifeline for thousands of residents, including pregnant women, nursing mothers, and farmers. The lack of modern medical equipment, inadequate infrastructure, and a shortage of personnel have severely hindered the hospital’s ability to provide quality healthcare.

“Healthcare is a basic right, and the people of Ode-lemo deserve better facilities to ensure their safety and well-being,”Hon. Bello asserted during the Assembly session.
