The Kajola Local Government administration has commissioned five world-class Primary Healthcare Centres and a motorised borehole across the council area, while also providing financial support to 62 widows as part of its efforts to improve healthcare delivery and promote social welfare.
The projects and empowerment programme were carried out on Tuesday, June 30, 2026, under the leadership of the Executive Chairman of Kajola Local Government, Honourable (Alhaji) Akeem Olawale Mustapha.
The newly commissioned Primary Healthcare Centres are located at Ijo, Okeho; Gbonje, Okeho; Agbagi, Ilero; Ayetoro-Oke; and Ilaji-Oke, while the motorised borehole was inaugurated at Isemi-Ile.
Speaking during the commissioning, Mustapha praised the leadership and support of the Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, stating that the governor’s vision had continued to create opportunities for programmes that directly impact the lives of the people.
He urged residents to make proper use of the newly provided facilities and ensure they are well maintained in order to sustain quality healthcare services and promote healthy living.
The council chairman also reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to executing more developmental projects and ensuring that the dividends of democracy are evenly distributed across Kajola Local Government. He, however, appealed to residents to reciprocate the government’s efforts by remaining committed to their civic responsibilities.
In a related development, the wife of the Executive Chairman, Alhaja Olatundun Bilikisu Mustapha, advocated sustained economic empowerment programmes for widows and grassroots women, stressing the need for strategic initiatives to improve their welfare and protect them from gender-specific abuses.
