The Executive Chairman of Mushin LGA, Hon. Emmanuel Bamigboye, visited the newly constructed Primary Healthcare Centre ( PHC) in Idi-Araba Community, as his administration's last monthly free medical outreach was taken to Idi-Araba at the first PHC in the community. 

The PHC was originally an outpost medical centre donated by the Rotary Club and supported by the Council, which the Chairman promised to elevate it to a standard PHC as requested by the community and yesterday, Wednesday, 23 July 2025, the Chairman officially visited the standard PHC with modern equipment to carry out various medical treatment from child delivery to laboratory test, and so on. 

At the Visit, the Chairman was taken round the centre by the MOH of the Council, showing various departments and wards including the delivery wards and laboratory. 

Speaking with Mushines, the Council Chairman disclosed that the rising population of people in Idi-araba called for upgrading the wooden cubicle into a standard medical centre. 

"The population of people in the Idi-Araba community is growing daily, and the former cubicle can not deliver effective medical services. We have to upgrade it to a standard PHC, and this is the first in this community. We are proud to fulfil that promise to the people of Idi-Arabas, which will reduce death rate and sickness within the community, considering the environmental nuisance caused by people". The Chairman said. 

He urged the people to utilise the PHC by patronising the facility for all kinds of ailments and medical services, ensuring that the staff are well-trained and ready to deliver quality services that a private hospital can deliver, and promised proper maintenance by the government, making it the first choice for the residents. 

The Vice Chairman, who doubles as the incoming Chairman of the Council, Hon. Tunbosun Haruna Aruwe, also assured the people of Idi-Araba that the centre will be maintained and continue to be at its best as the incoming administration will continue to support the centre and launch several projects and programs for the people of Idi-Araba. 

Traditional leaders in Idi-Araba present, the Seriki of Idi-Araba, Hassan Abubakar Auyo, the Baale of Idi-Araba, High Chief Afeez Adebayo Belewu and Baale Obele Idi-Araba, Omo Oba Ismala Akinsemoyin promised to protect and guide the facility against vandalisation and misuse as the centre is built for them and ready to treat it as their own. They thanked the Chairman for giving them a standard Primary Health Centre with modern equipment to deliver excellent services. 

The MOH, Dr. Odufunwa Kayode Adekunle and the Supervisor for Health, Hon. Femi Nuga, acknowledge the impact of the free monthly medical outreach that has taken place across all the wards within the communities and markets in Mushin. 

They expressed great hope that the incoming Chairman will continue to support the facility and even improve on the monthly medical outreach to the people. 

Present at the new PHC with the Chairman were the Vice-Chairman elect, Hon. Karaole Ishola Semiu, outgoing and incoming Councillors elected, community leaders and so on.
