According to the Governor Akeredolu, the project was part of the government’s commitment to improve the health sector and facilitate modern healthcare in Ondo State.The Mou was signed by the Secretary to the State Government (SSG) Hon. Ifedayo Abegunde while the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Medicus International, Frank Spriewald signed on behalf of the company.Akeredolu said: “I am more than convinced that Medicus has good intention. And as I told them when they came, I said coincidentally, about a few weeks ago I was in Germany myself and I saw their structure. When I was in Berlin I was talking to another medical Organisation to bring their facility to Ondo State. I was negotiating with them not knowing that someone else is already waiting for this.
