“This is the spirit of service and dedication to the people that every legislator and indeed all public servants should aspire to do. As we gather to commission this 80-bed hospital here in Imota, we are not just commissioning a building, but also affirming government’s unwavering commitment to the health and well-being of all Nigerians,” the Speaker stated.

She said the SDGs was a universal call to action to end poverty, safeguard the planet, and ensure that people, irrespective of their status, sex, religion, enjoy peace and progress.
“It is fortunate to know that the SDGs cannot be achieved without starting a long process, policies that must be carefully integrated into the medium and long-term national and sub-national development policies and plans.
“It is recognition of this that we are supporting the 36 states and the FCT on SDGs-based development planning.”, she opined.
