This motion, proposed by Rasaq Owolabi, representative of the Share/Oke-Ode constituency, was raised at Wednesday's plenary session in Ilorin. In his closing remarks, Speaker Yakubu Danladi-Salihu urged the state government to instruct the Ministry of Health, alongside other relevant stakeholders, to establish long-term strategies for effectively managing and preventing heart-related conditions in the state.
