Mr. Eyifoma, who spoke on the behest of the Ag. Olare-Aja (Eldest man) of Ifie-Kporo, Pa Michael Domino, stated: “We want to thank AYM Shafa, we are so impressed and very happy. You have the interest of our community at heart. Government alone cannot do everything, hence interventions from individuals and corporate bodies, are needed to complement the efforts of government”.
The Terminal Manager of AYM Shafa at Ifie-Kporo, Mr. Solademi Oludare, in his remarks before handing over the health facility, modernized by the company, disclosed: “AYM Shafa, came into this community (Ifie-Kporo) 2017 and one of the projects, the management agreed to embark upon, is to renovate this facility (the health centre). We started with the fencing, bought some equipment, renovated the doctor’s quarter, waiting room for maternity and bought drugs to the elderlies and people that need it. We included the medical outreach together with handing over of the facilities to government. We are handing over today, does not mean we are withdrawing completely, we are still part of this health centre. We will still be buying drugs, the health centre is our own baby and part of our responsibility, we will still work together with the community, they are giving us 100percent support”.
