Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu made the announcement during the 17th update on the management of Corona virus in the state.The governor said the Agidingbi Isolation Center would also be closed and patients relocated to a large capacity center – Indo-Centre in Anthony area, which would be soon be inaugurated.
He said, “Over the last four, five months, we have built an excess
capacity center, but that is only the way to go, you cannot
over-prepare. We have got to a stage where we need to balance the economics of this and which of these facilities we need to keep running.
Some of them now are having less than 20 per cent of occupancy, this is why we reached a conclusion to shut Eti-Osa facility and another one in Lekki.”
He explained that the Infectious Diseases Hospital in Yaba “is now also gradually being reverted back to its former status as a hospital to cater to all forms of infectious diseases.”
