As part of its philanthropic gesture, a Non Governmental Organisation, Cronies Club, Ibadan has commissioned a modernised borehole sunk for Oni & Sons Memorial Children Hospital, Ibadan.

Oni & Sons Memorial Children Hospital is a Government Secondary Hospital dedicated to the health care of children in Oyo State.

Speaking at the Commissioning on Saturday, the Chief Cronies, Oloye Adegboyega Taofeek Adegoke, who is also the Aare Egbe Omo Balogun of Ibadanland, said the Borehole is part of the Corporate Social Responsibility of the Cronies Club.

He said he has for long embraced the concept of giving back to the society, urging every Nigerian to have the same thing in mind.

Oloye Adegoke said this is important because it is good for everybody to leave a good legacy before he passes on and also because according to him, government efforts must be complemented.

According to him, “Well, the idea behind the donation of the Borehole is to give back to the society. This is because as a person, I help people, associations, communities and because I also belong to various clubs, I believe anywhere you pass through, you must make an impact.

“I believe anywhere you live , you must surely have a positive legacy that people can remember you for That people can say, this guy or lady was here and this was what he or she did.

“So it is always good to give back. God has blessed us and the little we have, we must give back to society and this is very important.

“Therefore as the President of the Cronies Club, we said we must energise our Corporate Social Responsibility and give back to the society. But thank God that the first one we have done is at Oni and Sons Children Hospital, Ibadan because it will be beneficial to the children and the mothers. It would also assist the society, the Hospital Management Board and the state government.

“Let me also say that the Oyo State Chairman of the Hospital Management Board, Dr Akin Fagbemi has a positive aura. And I believe his positive aura drew us here.

“He came into the office in May this year. This is October and barely six months, see what the man has been able to achieve across Oyo State. He has a positive aura to attract good things. When he was at OYTRMA he did excellently well. So he still has a lot to give back to Oyo State”.

Oloye Adegoke who is also the President of the Ibadan Jericho Club (JBC) also promised to provide solar lights in the hospital.

According to him, if his club is not willing, he promised he will do it on his own because he said this would assist the workers to be more effective and brighten the atmosphere for the patients.

While speaking at the occasion, the Chairman, State Hospitals Management Board, Dr Akin Fagbemi first of all thanked the governor of Oyo State, Engr. Seyi Makinde for giving the focus and well defined direction for Oyo State.

“I will always make reference to Omituntun 2. 0. Agenda of Sustainable Development which captures the healthcare delivery. Under the Hospitals Management Board, we have Oni & Sons Children Memorial Hospital which is one area we are giving critical attention to mother and children. And one of the things we are celebrating today is the donation of this very critical facility to the hospital by the Cronies Club. And this is Borehole given to us which we are very glad with. It is coming at the niche of time.

“We are grateful because this is coming as a support to whatever we are doing and the good work of his Excellency, Governor Makinde. We pray that God Almighty will continue to be with him.

“The takeaway from here is that I want to also urge other clubs and those who God has provided for to also support this kind of good course.

“I wish to thank the Cronies Club and I want to appreciate them. God will continue to bless them.

“Also the Chief Cronies, Oloye Adegoke is a distinguished indigene of Ibadanland and he is already in line with Olubadan. He is already showing good leadership and we are grateful to him for leading his club into carrying out this project”.

The occasion was witnessed by members of the Cronies Club, the members of the Oyo State Hospitals Management Board and the staff of the Oni & Sons Memorial Children Hospital.
