When in 2016, the Chief Nursing officer of the State Hospital, Sunsun in Ogbomoso, Mr Rasaq Salami, reported to the Onpetu of Ijeru, Oba Sunday Oladapo Oyediran, who was his secondary school classmate that the hospital had challenges of insufficient wards and other facilities and that their efforts to get people to supplement what the government is doing to turn around the fate of the clinic remained unfruitful, he never envisaged that the conversation will bring a major turnaround to the hospital and benefit the town as a whole.
The conversation which was banter between friends gave the traditional ruler sleepless nights and like a father that is concerned with the welfare of hid people, he visited the hospital for an on the spot assessment and was convinced that there is a need to put in efforts to make things better; he used his influence to contact some organizations and he got a positive response.
The positive response he got from the Maigida Charity Foundation, culminated into a multimillion naira 40-bed space maternity complex with an industrial borehole that was commissioned on Saturday by the Oyo state governor, Senator Abiola Ajimobi. Oba Oyediran did not only facilitate the construction and completion of the project, he also handed over the completed project to the state government to manage for the people of Ijeru and the entire 300 communities within Ogbomoso town and its environs.
In his welcome address during the commissioning and handover ceremony, Oba Oladapo stated that the task of developing ones town is the responsibility of everyone and thanked the governor who he said provided a conducive environment for all to contribute their quota to the development of the town and the state as a whole.
