National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) Member, Olayemi Ajibola was deployed to Oyun in Moro Local Government Area of Kwara State. On getting there, he was shocked to see the state of the only Health Centre in the area.

“You could see the sky from the lobby of the PHC,” Olayemi wrote on Twitter.

He made up his mind to renovate the facility, took it as his personal Community Development Service (CDS) project, and today the facility is way better than what it was.
