The Ondo State Government has called on stakeholders in the health sector to close ranks and work in unison towards improving the well-being of residents.
Speaking at the quarterly Data Dissemination and Review Meeting of Impact Malaria (PDO) indicators for the second quarter of 2025, the State Commissioner for Health, Dr Banji Ajaka, represented by the Permanent Secretary, Dr Adeniran Ikuomola, stressed that all health programmes should be viewed as a collective mission rather than isolated efforts.
He emphasised that Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa remains committed to delivering quality services through the state’s healthcare facilities, noting that the effectiveness of these services would be judged by the performance of those entrusted with implementation.

Earlier in his welcome address, Dr Ikuomola appealed to representatives from all 18 local government areas to critically engage with the data presented at the meeting.
He noted that constructive feedback is a cornerstone of the state’s healthcare strategy, adding that periodic performance reviews are essential to achieving better outcomes for the people.
