Bashir Lanrewaju Oshodi, an aspirant for the Surulere Local Government Chairmanship under the All Progressives Congress (APC), has commended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for launching 8,000 Primary Healthcare Centres (PHCs) across Nigeria—a bold initiative aimed at strengthening the country’s healthcare system.
In a statement released today, Oshodi described the development as a landmark achievement in Nigeria’s public health reform, applauding the Tinubu administration for its commitment to accessible and quality healthcare.
“This is a historic milestone that clearly showcases the Tinubu administration’s unwavering dedication to reforming the health sector and improving the health of millions of Nigerians,” Oshodi stated.
Improved Access to Healthcare in Rural and Underserved Areas
Oshodi noted that the strategic rollout of PHCs is timely, especially for rural and underserved communities that have long struggled with limited access to medical services. He emphasized that these centres would bring essential healthcare services closer to the people, reducing the need for long-distance travel to urban hospitals.
Decentralized Healthcare and Job Creation
- The APC chairmanship hopeful highlighted several benefits of the PHC initiative, including:
- Decentralization of healthcare services
- Reduced pressure on general and teaching hospitals
- Improved service delivery
- Creation of thousands of jobs for doctors, nurses, community health workers, and support staff
“These people-centered projects reflect the kind of visionary leadership Nigerians yearn for,” he said, aligning the move with the goals of President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda.
