Mr. Olumuyiwa Ojo, the Director of Administration and Supplies at the Board, announced this confirmation during a special exercise held at the Board’s Conference Room in Abeokuta. Among these personnel, 174 belong to the senior staff cadre, while 147 are in the junior staff cadre. They are expected to play a crucial role in providing efficient healthcare services to the residents of the State.
Mr. Ojo further explained that the individuals whose appointments were confirmed by the Board had served in their respective roles for more than two years and had received four progress evaluation reports without any adverse reports.
Following the confirmation exercise, Dr. Adegeye Eweje and Dr. Omowunmi Moibi, who serve at the General Hospital in Ikenne, expressed their gratitude to the government for recognizing their contributions and employing them to address the healthcare needs of the State.
