“Governor Aiyedatiwa Delivers Where Others Failed” — OSOPADEC Board Member Hails Swift Action on Agadagba-Obon Hospital

Agadagba-Obon, Ondo State — August 2025 — In what is being described as a long-overdue lifeline for riverine communities, Governor Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa has been hailed for breaking the silence of neglect and reigniting the completion of the General Hospital in Agadagba-Obon.
Hon. Lawrence Tibi-ebi Steven, a board member of the Ondo State Oil Producing Areas Development Commission (OSOPADEC), praised the Governor’s decisive intervention, saying it marks a “historic moment of political will and leadership where previous administrations hesitated.”
“This is not just commendable, it is transformational. Governor Aiyedatiwa has done in weeks what others ignored for years. His swift response to the health crisis in the riverine region proves he is a leader who acts, not one who promises,” Steven declared.
Marching Orders and a 60-Day Ultimatum
The OSOPADEC board, led by its Chairman, Prince Biyi Poroye, recently visited the project site where the governor’s marching orders were already taking root. In a high-level directive aimed at cutting through years of bureaucratic delays, contractors were issued a 60-day ultimatum to complete and deliver the hospital for immediate use.
“The days of excuses are over. This project is no longer a political talking point, it is a rescue mission for the people of Agadagba-Obon. We have set a hard deadline. In 60 days, this hospital must be ready to serve,” Steven emphasized.
A Symbol of Hope for Coastal Communities
The Agadagba-Obon General Hospital has long been both a symbol of hope and heartbreak for the coastal population, where access to healthcare is often hampered by:
- Treacherous terrain and waterways
- Dilapidated infrastructure
- Years of administrative lip service without tangible results
Governor Aiyedatiwa’s intervention, insiders say, comes from a place of deep empathy and fierce commitment to equitable development across Ondo State, particularly in underserved oil-producing communities.
“His Excellency has demonstrated uncommon courage in facing down years of abandonment. The Agadagba-Obon project is now a top priority under his watch, and we’re seeing results,” Steven noted.
Restoring Confidence in Governance
The governor’s action has sparked renewed confidence across the Ijaw-speaking communities of the state. Many see the hospital’s revival as a powerful statement that their lives and wellbeing finally matter to the state’s highest office.
As the 60-day countdown begins, the message from OSOPADEC is unequivocal: this project will not stall again.
“We are done with unfulfilled promises. We are done with shadows and speeches. Under Governor Aiyedatiwa’s leadership, we are delivering results,” Steven concluded.
