Your Best Governor Award For Health Sector Well Deserved - Telegraph Management

The management of Telegraph Newspapers led by its Managing Director, Ayodele Aminu today presented award of the best Governor in the health sector to Governor Ademola Adeleke for his rehabilitation and upgrading of over 200 primary health care centres (PHCs), Imole Medical Outreach among other good governance deliveries.



Presenting the award to the Governor, Mr Aminu said the good performance of Governor Adeleke is widely known to the public at home and abroad, a factor he said warranted the award particularly for the health sector.

According to the media chief, “we watch with interest your passion for good governance. We note the rehabilitation of over 200 primary health care centres. Thousands have also benefited from your Imole Medical Outreach.

“Your good work was noticed nationally and internationally, hence you were rated the best Governor in the South West for attention and positive delivery on primary health care. That award earned your state 500,000 US dollars.

“For us at Telegraph, we note that you deliver where your predecessor did not. In our selection process, we were unanimous to confer this award on you to further encourage you to deliver more for the collective good of Osun people”, the Managing Director posited.

Responding, Governor Adeleke expressed appreciation for the award, describing it as “an incentive for me and my team to do more not just within the health sector but across critical areas of the state economy.

“When we came on board, we met the primary health care centres in a terrible state. As PHCs is the first point of medicare for our population, we resolved to upgrade and rehabilitate the primary health centres. We have upgraded over 200 already with solar power and water supply alongside rehabilitation of the structures.

“We are commencing phase two of the rehabilitation and upgrading alongside our move to the secondary health centers. As you have recognized us, the Bill Gates Health Challenge competition also rated Osun as the best in the South West on Primary Health Care.

“As you noted, we were awarded a 500,000 dollar prize. We are ploughing back the money to the PHCs to complete the process of upgrading and secure the lives of our people at the grassroots. So this award strengthens our resolve to push ahead with serving the people at all cost”, the Governor told the Telegraph management team.

BREAKING: PDP Bleeds in Oriade: Commissioner Loses 14 Party Leaders to Wole Oke in Home Ward

In a significant political shift, 14 grassroots leaders, including prominent women and youth coordinators from Ward 11, covering Ijeda and Iloko in Oriade Local Government Area of Osun State, have resigned from the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and pledged allegiance to Hon. Wole Oke’s growing political camp in the All Progressives Congress (APC). The mass resignation, formalized in a jointly signed letter, marks a deepening crack within the PDP structure in Oriade, as key mobilizers abandon the party over what they describe as years of marginalization, poor internal democracy, and a lack of direction. Their defection is also seen as a major boost to Wole Oke’s political momentum within the APC, following his recent and controversial departure from the PDP. “We are grateful for the opportunities and experiences we had as PDP members,” the group stated, “but the party no longer reflects our values or aspirations. We believe in Hon. Wole Oke’s leadership and vision, and we are proud to...

BREAKING: Esa-Oke Youths Reunite as Survivors, Caution Pelumi against revisionism

....we’re not your campaign slogan Once upon a glorious, chaotic 2017, practically every able-bodied youth in Esa-Oke held honorary title in the land: Personal Assistant to Barrister Pelumi Olajengbesi. No interviews. No pay. Just passion, blind loyalty, and the stamina to chase him from one campaign ground to the next like a political body double. From Comrade Mainframe to Comrade Swiss, from Yinka Oba to the humble football boys who carried cones like national flags, we were there. We were the movement. Until, of course. Now in 2025, Barrister Pelumi, clearly inspired by a Netflix political drama is on a media tour telling anyone who’ll listen that he "settled everyone who worked for him." Settled who, please? Maybe in his dreams or in the metaverse. In the real world, the story’s a bit different. Those of us from Obokun, who hustled day and night, got exactly zero: no thank you, no handshake. Take Sami, now a former Ward 7 councillor, no thanks from Pelumi. Folusho? Aregbe...
