The Ondo State governor, Olusegun Mimiko has announced that 50 tricycle ambulances and 10,000 mobile phones would be distributed across the state to assist pregnant women.

Mr Mimiko made this known while inaugurating the construction and rehabilitation of Ore township roads in Odigbo Local Government Area of the state on Monday.

He said the donation of tricycle ambulances has become necessary because “when our mothers are in labour most of them don’t have a way to get to the hospital.

“They are ambulances and mobile hospitals where mothers can give birth,’’ he said.

He further explained that the mobile phones would be given to pregnant women as means of communicating with their health rangers and to call for assistance during emergencies.

The Ondo State Commissioner for Works, Gboye Adegbenro, had reiterated the commitment of the State Government to complete ongoing road projects in the state.

He said government had completed more than 70 per cent of all road contracts awarded in the state.

Mr Mimiko on Monday continued his re-election campaign to Odigbo local government area of the State with a pledge to turn Ore, the capital of the council into an
industrialized one.

He also flagged off the rehabilitation of 6.1-kilometer Ore township roads itemized the numerous developmental projects already put in place by his administration in the past three and a half years.
