The Vice-Chancellor thanked members of staff in the UHS for their commitment to service and assured them that the university management will intervene in other areas of needs in the clinic. 

Dr Aderonke Ajav in an earlier remark had appreciated the Vice-Chancellor and the university management for approving the project, saying environmental health is a major part of health.
