Reflecting on his time in office, the outgoing clinical chief, Dr. Adediran, acknowledged the intense demands of managing the clinical operations of a major federal medical center, while expressing absolute confidence in his successor’s leadership capabilities.

​”The seat is challenging and the workload is enormous, but I have no doubt that Dr. Adebisi has the capability to hold the position,” Dr. Adediran remarked.

​While formally presenting the transition documents and handing-over notes, Dr. Adediran urged the entire hospital workforce to rally behind the new administration, pledging his own continued loyalty and support to the institution.

​Dr. Adebisi, whose professional history with FMC Abeokuta spans decades, emphasized his deep emotional and professional ties to the hospital.

​”I love FMC so much. I have been here since I was a House Officer, and I want to serve and make it work,” the newly minted HCS stated. “I pray God helps me to do my best and exceed my predecessor.”

​Institutional Support

​The high-profile event drew key stakeholders from across the hospital’s administrative and medical echelons. Among those in attendance were:

• ​Mr. E.K. Apanisile, Director of Administration
• ​Mrs. A. Fagoyinbo, Head of Nursing Services
• ​Executives of the Medical and Dental Consultants’ Association of Nigeria (MDCAN)
