'This is a reason that prompted the senator representing Ado-Ekiti/Irepodun/Ifelodun federal constituency, Michael Bamidele, to facilitate the construction of an elderly care centre for N100 million at Iyin-Ekiti in the constituency.'
When UDEME visited the community in April, the adult daycare facility seemed deserted.
This, in turn, would “exalt the government in the public’s eyes” and reduce the workload and stress nurses face in general hospitals. Pa. Zachariah Ogunrinde, the 79-year-old, was seated alone and took advantage of by a Mallam to watch over his meat shop in Ile Kabiyesi Area in Iyin-Ekiti. PC Peace Oladipo During interviews with residents and indigenes of Iyin, UDEME found out that none of them were aware of the Daycare for adults project.“Iyin-Ekiti is full of elderly people. I have many of them in my compound. I wish we have an elderly daycare where they can go and have fun to be in good shape.
“I had a personal experience where I took an elderly person to the hospital, and the treatment was not adequate. Unfortunately, we do not have such a center in Iyin-Ekiti,” he said.“There is a center like that. But since it is not in use, I will say it does not exist. I was personally part of the project in the beginning, helping with the water. But they have not commissioned, opened and utilized the place. In fact, beds and other materials are already in it but they are locked.
When UDEME visited the palace of Oluyin of Iyin, Oba Adeola Adeniyi Ajakaye, he was not available. However, when contacted by phone, he requested that UDEME address the residents on the facility’s significance.
