OGUN STATE WDC INAUGURATES HEALTH INSURANCE ENROLMENT AND PATIENT-CENTERED FEEDBACK AMBASSADORS

_S. A. (New Media)_

​In a major step toward expanding affordable healthcare coverage, the *Ogun State Ward Development Committee (WDC)* on, *September 29, 2026* inaugurated its newly appointed *Health Insurance Enrolment and Patient-Centered Feedback Ambassadors.*

​Representing the *Ogun State Health Insurance Agency (OGSHIA), Mr. Gbadamosi Adebayo, Head of ICT,* performed the *official inauguration* at the *SS Peter and Paul Cathedral Hall, Isale Ake, near Adatan Junction, Abeokuta.*

​Delivering the keynote address, *Mr. Adebayo* emphasized the preventive financial cushion that health insurance provides. *_"The idea of health insurance is paying in advance because you may need hospital care, rather than facing heavy expenses only when you fall ill," he explained._*

Addressing the newly inaugurated ambassadors, the *State Chairman of the Ward Development Committee (WDC) Asiwaju Dapo Wahab, JP* offered words of advice and issued a direct call to action, setting clear expectations for field performance and facility monitoring.

​"Our primary goal is to ensure that the huge investments made by the *Ogun State Government into Primary Health Care (PHC) development* yield direct, measurable benefits for our communities," the WDC State Chairman stated. "As ambassadors, you are the crucial bridge between our people and the healthcare system. Your success will be measured by clear Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), including active monthly enrollment figures, accurate patient feedback collection, and the resolution rate of service complaints at our primary health centers."

​The newly inaugurated ambassadors were *chosen from all 20 local government areas of Ogun State* and will drive grassroots mobilization, boost health insurance enrollment across wards, and collect direct patient feedback to improve healthcare service delivery throughout Ogun State.

WDC , Health Workers Must See Themselves as Partners in Progress — _WDC_ _Chairman_

*_Thursday 24, Sept. 2026 | Odeda | Ogun State_*

The State Chairman of the Ward Development Committee (WDC), Ogun State Council, Alh. Asiwaju Dapo Wahab, JP, has called on Ward Development Committees and health workers across the state to see themselves as partners in progress in the collective effort to improve healthcare delivery and health outcomes at the grassroots.

Asiwaju Wahab made the call on Thursday, 24 September 2026, while speaking at a one-day training on Demand Generation for Reproductive , Maternal , Newborn , Child , Adolescent and Elderly Health (RMNCAEH) , organized by the Ogun State Primary Health Care Development Board (OGSPHCDB) in collaboration with the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) .

The training, held at the Odeda Local Government Health Authority, brought together WDC representatives, community mobilizers and Officers-in-Charge (OICs) of primary healthcare facilities.

The WDC Chairman emphasized that effective primary healthcare delivery requires a strong partnership between health workers and the communities they serve. He noted that WDCs, as community-based structures, have an important role to play in mobilizing residents, generating demand for essential health services, addressing barriers to healthcare utilization, and strengthening community ownership of primary healthcare facilities.

The training was aimed at strengthening demand-generation activities across primary healthcare facilities within Odeda Local Government, while equipping community mobilizers with the requisite knowledge and practical skills to effectively utilize the newly developed demand-generation flip charts as a tool for community sensitization, education and mobilization.

The initiative is expected to enhance the capacity of community mobilizers and health workers to communicate key health messages effectively and encourage increased utilization of essential services covering reproductive, maternal, newborn, child, adolescent and elderly health.

Asiwaju Wahab further reaffirmed the commitment of the WDC Ogun State Council to working closely with government agencies, health workers, development partners and communities to ensure that health information reaches the grassroots and translates into positive health-seeking behaviours.

“ WDCs and health workers must see ourselves as partners in progress . When we work together , we can bridge the gap between the availability of healthcare services and their effective utilization by our communities ,” he stated.
