OPINION…. Oxygen Plant Project, Where Kwara Govt Got It Wrong
Suleiman Alege, former commissioner for health, Kwara State

It is quite unfortunate that this administration has rendered governance to nothing using state apparatus to hoodwink the citizens of the state to silence every voice of reason.
This is a clear indication that this government has lost its direction on the ways to handle issues of public importance.
Without mincing words, as a former commissioner for health in the state, I have given an account of what I know about the state of medical facilities in the last administration and I still stand by it.
However, further investigation revealed that the state government under the last administration decided to prioritize the procurement of more oxygen concentrators in other to service many hospitals since the ventilators are only key in intensive care unit (ICU).
Findings revealed that all other medical equipment were procured, only the ventilator was stepped down for the reason stated above.
