The General Hospital Badagry has witnessed a change of leadership with Dr Oluseyi Adegoke Adesola taking over the headship of the facility from Dr Olatunde Bakare.

The change of baton was done recently during a valedictory Hospital Management Committee meeting (HMC) held at the Olaniyi Oladapo Conference Room. Adesola, who expressed gratitude to his predecessor for the footprints he had left on the sands of time, charged both management and other workers to continually and efficiently deliver quality healthcare to the people of Badagry and its environs to sustain the good image and positive ratings of the hospital.

In addition, Adesola challenged the Heads of Department if they could willingly tell their loved ones to come to the facility to receive medical care, stressing that whatever might be happening within their respective departments is a reflection of their capacity.

Earlier, Bakare, while appreciating the support of the management for his leadership between October 2020 and October 2025, said the hospital had attained a standard that is much better than where it was five years ago, and that he felt happy and fulfilled to be leaving the hospital.

Bakare was deployed on October 22, 2025 to General Hospital Lagos as Medical Director/CEO, while Adesola, formerly the Medical Director/CEO of General Hospital Epe, which was transformed last year into Federal Medical Centre (FMC), Epe was moved to Mushin General Hospital briefly in the same capacity before being redeployed as Medical Director/CEO of General Hospital Badagry.
