Pastor Enoch A. Adeboye, General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG),  and Pastor Folu Adeboye, his wife, Thursday, July  24, 2025, donated a dialysis centre to Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospital Complex (OAUTHC) Wesley Guild, in Ilesa, Osun State.

Governor Adeleke, on the occasion, commended Adeboye and his wife for their consistent kind gestures in the education and health sectors as well as humanitarian initiatives, all of which, he said, had touched several lives across the world.

The Osun State Governor, represented by Jola Akinsola, Honourable Commissioner for Health, noted that kidney-related ailments have been on the rise in Nigeria, and several patients cannot afford the cost of treatment.

Adeleke also appreciated the general overseer and his wife for filling the gap, thus bringing hope to the hopeless and help to the helpless.

The governor as well urged other organisations, NGOs, philanthropists and other kind-hearted individuals to support the hospital.

Adeleke further appealed to the Management of the hospital to ensure proper maintenance of the newly-commissioned centre.

He pledged the Osun State Government would collaborate with the Federal Government to ensure that the centre remains functional with the provision of necessary consumables.

Earlier at the project commissioning, Pastor Johnson Odesola, RCCG Continental Overseer, had described Pastor Adeboye as a pathfinder, who is not only preaching the gospel but also demonstrating the preachings.

Odesola, who represented Pastor Adeboye at the event in Ilesa, said that the RCCG General Overseer had been showing care to several people to ensure their welfare and well-being, agency report also said.

The Continental Overseer of RCCG, therefore, appealed to Nigerian leaders still travelling abroad for medical attention to emulate Adeboye by prioritising the health sector for the betterment of the people.

Earlier, Pastor Kayode Pitan, Assistant National Christian Social Responsibility Coordinator (CSR) of RCCG, had said that the various charity activities of the church were being handled by “His Love Foundation” (HLF), an arm of the church.

Pitan, represented by Assistant CSR Coordinator, Pastor Detola Akinyemi, stated that the dialysis centre would be the 13th to be donated by RCCG across the West African country.

Akinyemi disclosed that a total 207,761,297 people had benefitted from the facilities in the last eight years, with over N110 billion committed to the projects in Nigeria.

The centre, he noted, is equipped with three dialysis machines, beds, a water reverse osmosis purification system, one 30 KVA generator and air conditioners.

In his remarks, Prof. John Okeniyi, Chief Medical Director (CMD) of OAUTHC, appreciated God for giving everyone the grace to witness the occasion.

Prof. Okeniyi congratulated Mrs. Adeboye and thanked her and her husband for the donation of the centre to Wesley Guild Hospital, Ilesa, report stated.

The OAUTHC CMD also said that the centre would serve patients across the six states in the South-West, and even beyond, while it would complement the facilities already on the ground at the hospital for treatment of kidney diseases.
