COVID-19 pandemic<\/a> affected the finance of the state and hindered regular payment of salaries, saying he never owed workers\u2019 salaries prior to the pandemic season.<\/p>\nHe noted that although his predecessor left seven months\u2019 unpaid salaries, but said six of the outstanding salary had been paid and promised that all salaries arrears presently owed will be paid.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am glad to inform you that we made giant strides in all of these areas. Unfortunately, the COVID-19 pandemic came in the third year into our first term with its attendant economic crisis which has since put governments across the world in financial straitjackets.<\/p>\n
\u201cNotwithstanding the precarious situation we inherited in 2017, you will recall that we had settled six of the seven months arrears of salaries.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe employed and have continued to employ qualified personnel for our primary, secondary, and tertiary health care facilities. We equally brought in several containers of hospital equipment worth billions of naira from the United States.<\/p>\n
\u201cAgain, we established Teaching Hospital Complexes in both Akure and Ondo cities as well as established the Contributory Health Insurance Commission among other achievements that are well known to most of our health sector practitioners in the State,\u201d the governor said.<\/p>\n
He said his administration is determined to sustain and continually improve on efforts at delivering effective and qualitative health care and social welfare services to the people.<\/p>\n
He stated that efforts are in top gear to continually employ qualified personnel for primary, secondary, and tertiary health care facilities, stressing that shipments of several containers of hospital equipment worth billions of naira had been brought into the state from the United States.<\/p>\n
He said: \u201dIt is trite knowledge that no government anywhere in the world can claim to have done or achieved it all, especially within the context of a changing world and within the perspective of the theme of this summit.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is for this and many other reasons that the decision to focus on the challenges facing our health care delivery system as a government is well thought out\u201d<\/p>\n
Akeredolu also acknowledged that the need to quickly reposition the health sector with utmost commitment and collaboration is a task that must be done by all stakeholders, reassuring all medical and health workers that health care remains a central focus of his administration\u2019s REDEEMED Agenda.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe will, therefore, spare no effort in promptly attending to your welfare. The current issues relating to salary payment are receiving our attention even at the national level. We are working hard to ensure that our State is better funded and supported without delay in order to deliver on our constitutional responsibility to our people.\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
The governor, however, commended the health workers for their level of perseverance in the face of hardship and also appealed to them that their welfare remains a top priority.<\/p>\n
Akeredolu further stressed that his administration will not vacillate in its determination to ensure that the people and residents of the State are duly vaccinated against the deadly virus.<\/p>\n
\u201cTo this end, we shall continue to enforce the deadline already issued for everybody in this State to be vaccinated or forfeit the privileges from the government such as the entrance to public places and access to certain services, among others\u201d he noted<\/p>\n
Earlier in her welcome address, the permanent secretary, ministry of health, Mrs Folukemi Aladenola said the health summit in the state is intended to tap into the experience of experts in the medical profession, policymakers, technocrats, and critical stakeholders in the health sector towards updating the health policy in the state.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd also leveraging on the summit to discuss developing the needed synergy among the different components of the health sector,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n
Also Speaking, Director General Kano State Drugs and Hospitals Consumables Management Agency, Alhaji Hisham Imam, and his counterpart from Niger State, Dr Mohammed Audi commended Akeredolu for his various health interventions just like his counterparts in Kano State and Niger State.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
