The building, Block D, was fully rehabilitated for the use of staff of the General Hospital. It was formerly in a state of dilapidation before the intervention of the Ajala administration.
“We rehabilitated this block for the use of the staff of the Mushin General Hospital. It is our contribution to the improved welfare for staff, medical staff and patients at the hospital,” he said.
Ajala also assured that his administration will not relent in assisting the hospital whenever it is called upon. “We will continue to contribute our own quota to the growth of this hospital, hence we will always hearken to your calls,” he assured.
The event took place at the premises of the hospital.
The Medical Director of the Hospital, Dr. Oluyemi Taiwo expressed appreciation to the Ajala administration for the gesture.
“We are grateful for this kind gesture by Honourable Rasaq Ajala and his team at Odiolowo/Ojuwoye LCDA. This will go a long way in improving service delivery at the hospital. But like Oliver Twist, we will always ask for more,” she said.
Ajala reminded Dr Taiwo of the need to establish of the general hospital in Odiolowo/Ojuwoye LCDA.
“The old Mushin Local Government was standing on three legs: Itire, New Mushin and Odiolowo.
“But of the three legs: Itire, New Mushin and Odiolowo, it is only our LCDA (Odiolowo) that is without a center from the General Hospital.
“My appeal to the management, therefore, is to find a way to have a center in our LCDA,” the council boss said.

He also appealed to other people in Mushin to come to the aid of the hospital in the form of support to what the government is doing.
