Former president, Olusegun Obasanjo, says that Bayelsa will soon be a hub for quality medical healthcare.

On Saturday, February 17, 2018, former president, Olusegun Obasanjo said the huge investments by Governor Seriake Dickson of Bayelsa State in ensuring quality healthcare delivery will soon turn the state into a medical tourism hub in Nigeria.

According to a statement by the Chief Press Secretary to the Bayelsa State Governor, Francis Agbo, Obasanjo, at a performance in his honor in Yenagoa, said he will henceforth visit the state regularly to have his medical check-ups.

Obasanjo had, during his three-day visit to Bayelsa, commissioned several legacy projects, including the world-class diagnostic center, Bayelsa State Specialist Hospital, the Bayelsa State Drug Distribution Centre in Yenagoa and the Aquaculture Village in Igbogene.

The former president noted with satisfaction the level of development that has transformed the state, especially in the areas of education, health, infrastructure, tourism, among others, stressing that he will testify to the world, what he has seen in Bayelsa.

According to him, Governor Dickson's placement of education at the top of his administration's agenda is a means to eradicate poverty, curb insecurity and create jobs for the teeming youths in the state. He called on investors within and outside the country to take advantage of the prevailing security, peace, and stability in Bayelsa State.
