The Executive Assistant to Governor Sheriff Oborevwori on Oil and Gas, Chief Edafevwotu Akpos, has lauded the Governor’s approval for the transfer of the General Hospital, Otor-Udu to the Federal Ministry of Health for the establishment of a Federal Medical Centre (FMC), Ovwian in Udu Local Government Area of Delta State.
While commending the Governor and the law makers for their pragmatic approach, adding that “this is one of the best decisions taken by the present administration to better the lot of the populace”.
He said, the significance of the Federal Medical Centre at Owvian could not be overemphasized, saying it was a healthy and commendable development for the people and residents of Udu and its environs.
“The establishment of a Federal Medical Centre at Ovwian is a good development because Udu and environs need a specialist health centre to complement what we have already given at the Central Hospital, Warri”.
He stressed that with the presence of the Medical centre in Ovwian, would reduce the stress of accessing quality medical care and thereby reduce the death rate not only in the Udu local government area but in Delta State as a whole.
Akpos urged the people of Udu to embrace the opportunity with all sense of humility and to take the security of the hospital property with utmost care.
