The People of Ebhoijie Community in Esan North East constituency 11 has donated a large parcel of Land to the Edo State Government and The Deputy Speaker, Rt Hon. (Mrs) Maria Oligbi- Edeko, Esq. to build a Primary Healthcare Centre For the people in the community.
The Deputy Speaker, Rt Hon. (Mrs) Maria Oligbi- Edeko, Esq. in company of the Executive Director of the Edo State Primary Healthcare Agency, visited the Elders and people of the community to inform them of Gov. Godwin Obaseki’s initiative to bring primary healthcare closer to their doorsteps.
The Deputy Speaker in her remarks during the visit, told the people the importance of having a primary healthcare system in the community.
She encouraged them to embrace the initiative to avoid traveling long distance in search of medical attention.
She appealed to them to provide a suitable location for the project to be sited.
In their response, the visibly happy Elders of the community donated a very large piece of land which will also accommodate and accessible to three other highly populated communities around Ebhoijie community.
The proposed project will be sponsored by Edo State Government and Rt. Hon. (Mrs.) Maria Omozele Oligbi-Edeko Esq, Member representing Esan North East Constituency II and Deputy Speaker of Edo State House of Assembly.
