The Pharmaceutical Society of Nigeria (PSN), Lagos State Branch, has applauded the federal government’s reappointment of Dr. Olugbenga Owoeye as the medical director of the Neuropsychiatric Hospital, Yaba, Lagos.
The PSN also congratulated Dr. Owoeye on the renewal of his appointment, describing it as a well-deserved recognition of his exemplary leadership.
The Branch Chairman, Babayemi Oyekunle, praised Dr. Owoeye’s professional excellence and his consistent display of integrity and courage under pressure, particularly his refusal to yield to unethical practices that undermine the healthcare system.
His tenure, the Society noted, has been defined by significant improvements in staff welfare, infrastructural development, and an unwavering commitment to professional standards.
His support for the appointment of consultant pharmacists at the hospital, despite substantial opposition, was cited as a bold step rooted in lawful administrative practices and a commitment to fairness in healthcare management.
Further applauding his achievements, the PSN praised Dr. Owoeye for facilitating long-overdue staff promotions and fostering an environment conducive for effective service delivery. The Society encouraged him to sustain his visionary leadership in the new term, affirming that his continued service would enhance patient care and boost the morale of healthcare professionals.
The PSN also expressed appreciation to the Federal Ministry of Health (FMoH) for the decision to renew Dr. Owoeye’s mandate. It viewed the development as an affirmation of merit, ethical conduct, and competence.
In the same vein, the PSN congratulated Dr. Damola Dada on his impactful leadership during his eight-year tenure as medical director and chief executive officer of the Federal Medical Centre, Ebute-Metta.
