modern and well-equipped clinic and civic hall to the Isade-Ijebu community in

facilities will be managed by St. Mark’s Anglican Church, Isade-Ijebu, on
behalf of the community.


The
clinic, a multi-million Naira building with several wards, dispensary and
consulting rooms, will serve the medical needs of the church, Isade-Ijebu
community as well as the various adjoining villages.

The
clinic and the hall were commissioned by Right Reverend Ayodele Awosoga, the

community leaders, other religious bodies, among others, Awosoga eulogised Dr.
Taiwo Afolabi, Group Executive Vice Chairman, SIFAX Group and the company for

Isade-Ijebu community an envy among their contemporaries.

“I
want to thank Dr. Taiwo Afolabi and SIFAX Group for being a great blessing to
the church and this community. As we all know that health is wealth, this new
clinic will provide easy access to good and affordable health care for all the
villages around here. The hall also will provide a befitting venue for church
and social activities. Overall, the lives of our people will become better by
the reason of this philanthropic gestures.

“I
enjoin other wealthy individuals and corporate organisations to emulate this
worthy initiative by coming to the aid of rural communities through the
provision of critical facilities.”
