UCH Ibadan CMD Commissions Electric Motorcycles for Christian Welfare Initiative Members

The UCH Christian Welfare Initiative on Thursday, October 15, 2026, commissioned Spiro electric motorcycles at the Cooperative Secretariat for use by members of staff.

In his address, President of the Christian Cooperative Society, Mr Michael Egbeyale, welcomed guests and expressed appreciation to the Chief Medical Director for honouring the invitation. He said the motorcycles were procured to ease movement, reduce commuting hardship and provide opportunity for additional income.

Mr Egbeyale added that motorcycles would boost staff morale and enhance mobility. He noted this is the first batch, with second batch expected soon.

"A fully charged motorcycle can cover 1,000 kilometres. It will benefit staff in commuting to and from work," he said, advising beneficiaries to always use helmets and avoid reckless driving.

He appealed to management for provision of a charging centre for batteries.

Chairperson of Board of Trustees, Prof Titi Akingbola, said motorcycles would benefit beneficiaries and boost morale and efficiency.

In his remarks, Chief Medical Director, Prof Jesse Abiodun Otegbayo, commended executive members under Mr Egbeyale for prioritising welfare of members.

"This is very unique and will be beneficial. It is going to be useful. Users should ride carefully, wear helmets, and drive safely," Prof Otegbayo said.

He urged other cooperative societies to emulate such initiatives that make life easier for members and thereafter commissioned the motorcycles.
