Myself, Dr Baoku Olusola, an anaesthesiologist, and a team of surgeons successfully did seven surgeries within eight hours at Kogi State Reference Hospital, Okene.

We used sophisticated, world-class equipment, tiltable electronic remote-controlled operating tables, standard overhead LED operating lights, facilities for telemedicine, patients and fluid warmers, standard Dua vaporizer anesthesia machine, electrosurgical unit under perfect lightning.

The shortest intraoperative transition between patients that have ever seen, no loss of power throughout, excellent staff coordination and patient satisfaction in line with international best practice. We are compelled to commend Your Excellency, Governor Yahaya Bello for this state-of-the-art hospital.

We took time to also visit the new roads under construction, the huge secondary school edifice and the Nursing hostel. You are indeed a visionary and a great leader.

Your legacy of infrastructures cutting across health, education and many sectors will last for generations and your name will never be forgotten in this state till the end of time, Your Excellency. May Almighty guide your path to greater service for this Nation.

This was my personal experience on the 19th of January 2024 in Okene.
