The Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH), in partnership with Messrs Oasis Nigeria Limited, has commissioned two new ultramodern Dental Suites located within the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) Building at the facility on Monday.

LASUTH COMMISSIONS TWO ULTRAMODERN DENTAL CENTRES

The Chief Medical Director of LASUTH, Prof. Adetokunbo Fabamwo, while commissioning the centres alongside representatives of Messrs Oasis and the Hospitals’s management staff, stated that the Dental Centre is a facility created to meet the growing demand of clients who seek exclusive, private, and expedited dental services. 

He said “This Centre leverages the same expertise of the highly skilled consultants that LASUTH is renowned to have. We are proud to partner with Messer Oasis Nigeria Limited to whom we provided the space which they  equipped and furnished to international standards”.

“We are operating an alternative partnership Dental Centre. This facility caters to clients who are willing to pay a slightly higher fee for fast-tracked, exclusive, and private care, while benefiting from the expertise of LASUTH personnel, our consultants and experts”. 

Fabamwo also noted that the SDG Building is rapidly becoming a central hub for cutting-edge medical services within LASUTH, revealing that plans are underway to commission an intensive care unit, an ultramodern modular theatre suite, and a high-dependency unit soon.

The CMD expressed his gratitude to Messrs Oasis Nigeria Limited for partnering with the hospital, especially during these challenging economic times. He also saluted Prof. Tuoyo Okoturo, the Head of the Dental Centre, in LASUTH, and his team for their hard work in conceptualising and planning this project, which has resulted in this beautiful edifice being officially opened for operations.

“We are contributing to the national efforts to retain our medical personnel and health workers. As we all know, one of the main drivers of the 'japa syndrome' is dissatisfaction with the working environment but Dental Surgeons working in a facility like this would have a sense of fulfilment carrying out their duties and may resist the urge to move to colder, less-friendly climates to work”, the Chief Medical Director concluded.

In a similar vein, Dr. Tuoyo Okoturo, Head of the Dental Centre, expressed deep gratitude to the Chief Medical Director of the hospital for his support. He recalled a meeting where the CMD passionately shared his vision for the Dental Centre, emphasising his consistent support for dentistry, which has always been backed by tangible actions. 

Dr. Okoturo assured the CMD of the full support and commitment of himself and all the Heads of Units in the Dental Centre to ensure the success of the initiative, pledging that they would work diligently to see the project thrive as envisioned. 

Mr. Frederick John, the representative of the Chief Executive Officer of Oasis Nigeria Limited, Dr. Tunde Olujobi, the LASUTH Partnership Dental Centre Manager, described the partnership with LASUTH as a significant advancement in providing top-tier healthcare to the community.

He emphasised that access to quality healthcare is a fundamental right, and through this collaboration, Oasis Nigeria Limited aims to support standards in accessibility and excellence that LASUTH has already established in healthcare. The clinic’s dedicated team of professionals is committed to delivering personalised and compassionate care to each patient.

Sanwo-Olu Commissions 264 Units of Flats in Lekki

Gov: "We Will Build Affordable Houses For Lagosians-Sanwo-Olu"

... Project is a successful public-private collaboration- Commissioner

The Lagos State Governor Mr. Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu on Thursday has promised that his administration will build affordable and accessible houses for Lagosians.

The commissioning came less than 24 hours to the first year anniversary of his administration.

Speaking at the official commissioning of two different estates in the Ikate Elegushi and Lekki area of the state, Sanwo-Olu said his Government is positioned to bring about even development to every part of the State, with a view to making Lagos achieve the 21st Century economy.

Sanwo-Olu noted that the project is a manifestation of his administration's much-touted need for public-private partnerships, which he said would be encouraged in all sectors of Governance to bring rapid growth and mutual benefits to all parties.

He said: "We need to continue to genuinely think through affordable housing, and that is our commitment for our people, because it's not everybody that will have the ability to pay for housing estates such as this. Therefore, we must give them opportunities for installmental payment, so as to make it affordable and accessible for them.

"I inherited this amongst several other projects and the critical challenge we had to contend with was lack of funds. To surmount this challenge, we had to look towards the private sector and adopted the public-private partnership (PPP) model. It was then that we were able to mobilize the needed funds and put life back to the construction site.

"The Lekki Apartment is thus another manifestation of the possibilities attainable when the public and private sectors come together to pursue a mutually beneficial goal. This cooperation remains a veritable means of meeting the shortfall in the supply of public utilities and social infrastructure", he stressed.

Urging the new allottees of the estate to put the facilities to proper use and comform to laid down rules for appreciation of value, Mr Sanwo-Olu congratulated them as he equally commended the Ministry of Housing, Lagos State Development Property Corporation and the private developers in making this a success in one year of his administration.

Earlier in his address, the Commissioner for Housing, Hon. Moruf Akinderu-Fatai praised the foresight and confidence of Governor Sanwo-Olu on the success of the project noting that he left no one in doubt of his commitment to providing affordable houses for Lagosians.

He said the project which started six years ago but witnessed some delay during the past administration got an immediate boost from Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu who provided all that was needed to make today's Commissioning a reality immediately he assumed office.

Akinderu-Fatai expressed optimism that the current administration in Lagos State will ensure that housing need becomes a success story.

According to him, "It is worthy of mention that the project started in 2014 but thereafter got stuck due to some challenges. It would not have been completed if not for the ingenuity and determination of our very able Governor, Mr. Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu.

" When Mr. Sanwo-Olu resumed as MD/ CEO of LSDPC in 2016, he immediately set about putting into motion the financial engineering and design modification required to complete this estate. Today's event is actually to the credit of Mr. Governor who ensured that all the hurdles to the completion were surmounted.

"We thank our able Governor, Mr. Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu for not only the initiative of completing this Estate but also for the entire transformation of Lagos State. Certainly as we work together, the vision of the Greater Lagos as envisaged in the T. H. E. M. E. S. Agenda will be effectively achieved", he said.

Courtland Luxury Villas and Ikate Elegushi Lekki Apartments provide a total of 264 units of flats from one bedroom to four bedrooms for upper and middle income earners working around Lekki and Victoria Island of Lagos.
