Other principal officers of the university and the Acting Medical Research Director of MOFAMRTH, Professor Christopher Alebiosu, were also present.

During the visit, Mrs Adeleke met with the baby’s mother, Ms. Ayelabola Abigail, congratulated her on the arrival of her newborn and presented gifts to the family as a gesture of goodwill and support.

She also expressed appreciation to Apostle (Dr) Modupe Folorunso Alakija and the Osun State Government for their contributions to the establishment and development of the hospital.
