Rivers State Governor, Sir Siminalayi Fubara, has reaffirmed his administration’s unwavering commitment to transforming the state’s healthcare sector. Speaking at the commissioning of the newly remodeled and fully furnished 105-bed Zonal Hospital in Omoku, located in the Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni Local Government Area (ONELGA), the Governor emphasized that access to quality, affordable healthcare is a fundamental right for every citizen of Rivers State.
The upgrade of the Omoku Zonal Hospital represents a significant milestone in Governor Fubara’s strategic health intervention plan, aimed at systematically addressing years of infrastructural neglect in communities outside the state capital. This newly upgraded facility is equipped with state-of-the-art medical technology, ensuring that residents of ONELGA and surrounding areas no longer have to travel to Port Harcourt for specialized medical attention. According to the Governor, the decentralization of healthcare delivery is crucial to reducing maternal and infant mortality rates while improving overall life expectancy across the state.
During the commissioning ceremony, the Oba of Ogbaland praised the Governor’s administrative vision and dedication to grassroots development. The traditional ruler commended the quality of the hospital project, noting that it directly impacts the lives of ordinary citizens. In his remarks, the Oba urged Governor Fubara to remain courageous, steadfast, and resilient in the face of political distractions. He emphasized that true leadership is defined by a legacy of service to the people, encouraging the Governor to continue prioritizing impactful projects that directly improve human lives.
In response, Governor Fubara thanked the traditional institution and the people of Omoku for their sustained support and cooperation. He assured them that the Omoku hospital is just one of many healthcare facilities slated for comprehensive rehabilitation. His administration is actively working on upgrading primary healthcare centers, recruiting skilled healthcare professionals, and ensuring that essential drugs are consistently available across all public hospitals.
By prioritizing healthcare and heeding the counsel of respected traditional leaders, Governor Fubara is carving out a legacy of compassionate and development-driven governance. The revitalization of the state’s health sector not only fosters a healthier populace but also lays a solid foundation for robust economic growth and sustainable development in Rivers State.
