This will expand funding capacity and eventually deepen the delivery capacity of stakeholders”, the Governor noted.Speaking at the occassion , the Chairman of the Board of Osun State Teaching Hospital, Hon Niyi Owolade commended Governor Adeleke for his passion for caring for the people of Osun State.”Osun people rejoice that a leader who truly love them is in charge.
