Oba Rasidi Ladoja, Olubadan of Ibadanland, has voiced his disapproval of the University College Hospital (UCH) in Ibadan due to its dismal state.
In a recent statement, the traditional ruler—a former governor of Oyo State—implored President Bola Tinubu and the Federal Government to immediately revive the health facility.
Speaking during his meeting with Mr. Taiwo Oyedele, Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, and Professor Ali Pate, Coordinating Minister of Health and Social Welfare, Ladoja made the call.
During Tuesday’s visit to him in Ibadan, the traditional ruler gave a speech.
Regarding the hospital’s dismal state, Ladoja expressed concern.
The severe lack of medical staff at the hospital was another point he made.
During the chance, he pleaded with the federal government, then headed by Tinubu, to take immediate action.
The current unstable state of the health center worries me. A critical scarcity of healthcare workers is another pressing issue.
We need to take immediate action to stop the situation. Nonetheless, I applaud President Ahmed Bola Tinubu for trying to restore the hospital’s former splendour.
