Ibadan – Oyo State Government has kick-started equipping the 351 Primary Healthcare Centres (PHCs) in the state with new power generating sets.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the symbolic presentation of 97 generating sets to some of the PHCs in Ibadan, was held at the state Secretariat, Agodi Ibadan.

Speaking at the event which was held on Tuesday, Mr Ademola Aderinto, the Engineering Technical Lead of PHCs Renovation Committee, said, “henceforth, PHCs will be powered by an alternative source whenever there is disruption of power supply by the electricity provider.”

Aderinto, who is also the Special Assistant to the Governor on Environment, said the motive behind the presentation, was to ensure that all the PHCs were equipped for the comfort of patients.
