There was Jubilation in Iyara, headquarters of Ijumu Local Government Area of Kogi State as the Nigerian Army donated a State-of-the-art remodeled and equipped Primary Health Care Clinic to the Community.

The State Government through the Primary Health Care Development Agency had delisted the health Centre, owing to its dilapidated State, hindering access to health care service.

But as part of its Military Intervention Project, the Nigerian Army took it upon itself to rehabilitate the Clinic and equip it with modern facilities.

The Executive Director of Kogi State Primary Healthcare Development Agency, Dr. Abubakar Yakubu was on ground to commission the Project.

The Olujumu of Ijumu Kingdom, Oba Williams Olusegun Ayeni while speaking at the ceremony, said the clinic is a welcome development and a thing of joy to the Community and the entire Ijumu land.
