The Federal Government in its congratulatory letter, dated 11th January, 2023 and released by the National Primary Health Care Development Agency (NPHCDA), lauded the sterling performance of the State in the health sector.

The letter, which was addressed to the Executive Secretary, Osun Primary Health Care Development Agency, Dr. Adebukola Olujide, said Osun emerged after a painstaking and rigorous selection process.

The agency further attributed the emergence of Osun among the 36 States of the federation including Federal Capital Territory (FCT), to the scrutinizing selection process backed by empirical data.

Reacting to the development, Dr. Olujide appreciated the Federal Government for counting the state worthy of the award assuring that it would serve as a motivation to further put in their very best in raising the bar of Public Health Sector in the state.

Olujide who couldn’t hide her feeling over the accolade congratulated management and Staff of the agency for the giant feat just as she encouraged them not to relent in their efforts to sustain the tempo in their collective quest to reposition the health sector in the State.

“The reward for hard work is more work. Let us continue to remain committed to the cause of ensuring that all Osun people are protected against preventable diseases,


“On behalf of the Governor and good people of Osun State, I appreciate the support of all stakeholders in the State without whose collaboration this monumental achievement and award would have been impossible”, Olujide added
