The Akure Businessmen and Professionals Roundtable (ABPR) has praised President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Coordinating Minister of Health and Social Welfare, Prof. Muhammad Ali Pate, for resolving the labour crisis that had crippled the Federal University Teaching Hospital (FUTATH). This comes after the suspension of the strike action by organised labour unions in the university, which had negatively impacted patients, students, and the community.
ABPR acknowledged Prof. Pate's actions and President Tinubu's commitment to the Renewed Hope agenda, specifically the teaching hospital project for Akure. ABPR also criticized some quarters for making empty threats against the President's vision for Akure. The group expressed solidarity with Ondo State health workers seeking employment at FUTATH and called for the expansion of the Akure Mother and Child Hospital and other hospitals to replace the now federalized Akure General Hospital.
ABPR expressed disappointment in the Ondo State government's response to the crisis, which they felt prolonged the shutdown of the public hospital and its negative consequences.
