THE UNTOLD STORY OF THE DEPLOYMENT OF FORMER EXECUTIVE SECRETARY
DR.FABIYI'S SYMPATISERS ARE CRYING WOLF WHERE THERE IS NONE
Our attention was drawn to a pathetic attempt by a group of faceless persons(who must have been benefitting from the rotten regime of Dr O.S. Fabiyi)to call black white and turn truth on its head.
In the baseless, unsubstantiated write up, irritatingly tagged “Breaking News”,it was suggested that Governor Oyetola got Dr Fabiyi removed from the position of Executive Secretary, Osun State Primary Health Care Board and replaced him with Dr I.K.Subair solely for the purpose of paving way for one Dr Olujide.
This allegation would have been laughable if it wasn’t so irritating,and a complete opposite of the truth.
Dr Fabiyi had enjoyed the benevolence of Governor Oyetola, who gets easily entreated and tends to give erring persons many chances to mend their ways,giving them very long ropes to pull.Dr Fabiyi had exhausted the patience of the Gatekeepers of the Health Sector,and by extension Mr Governor.The Governor had called Dr Fabiyi to order up to 3(three) times within the space of 1 year,warning him and giving him directives on necessary measures to take to stem the tide of failure in the outcomes from the activities of the Primary Health Care Board,under the leadership of Dr Fabiyi.The latter is quoted to have said that Mr Governor told him to be going out on random visits to the Health Facilities in order to keep the health workers on their toes.He however told his hearers that he had no intention of doing this,and he made sure he didn’t.This led to health workers displaying various acts of indiscipline like absenteeism and unpunctuality.Dr Fabiyi presented himself as a weak leader(with a laizzes faire style of leadership),who foubd it difficult to enshrine discipline,leading to state of near chaos in the State Primary Health Care Board.
He failed to curb the excesses and inadequacies of the BHCPF Desk Officer,leading eventually to gross inefficiency in the operations of the Board.
An example of his undue tolerance of misdemeanor was an occasion in which the BHCPF Desk Officer shouted on him and insulted him publicly (on account of being told to allow the driver attached to the BHCPF Vehicle to be the one driving the vehicle).He failed to take any action on this,refusing to issue a Query to the officer concerned.
He supported only programmes with pecuniary benefits,thus neglecting programmes like Family Planning.
He had at various times been at loggerheads with the representatives of WHO and UNICEF,the 2 major Donor Partners in the State over self centred issues.
The cause of his quarrel with one of these was the fact that he and the former were both dating a Corper posted to the State Primary Health Care Board,Joy Joan Benson.It was on account of this “fight”that the State was made to record an alarming 10% score in the OBR1 of 2021.
He lacksed the spine to take decisive action whenever necessary.

The health Indices of the State had pummelled from the beginning of Fabiyi’s tenure.
He put so much belief in spiritual marabouts who kept assuring him that he would never be removed before the end of his tenure,no matter how outrageous his misdemeanours might be.
The Ward Development Committee Chairman (Mr Kolade)of Atiba Facility,situated very close to Dr Fabiyi's residence,complained about his unconcerned attitude towards that facility.
Rather than find ways of fostering cordial relationship with the WDC Chairmen in the state,he supported Dr Akintayo (the erstwhile BHCPF Desk Officer) in commiting financial infractions by instructing banks to accept the Signatories of OIC s and 2ICs,instead of OICs/2ics and either WDC Chairman or the alternate.
He refused to carry out a thorough redistribution of staff across the Local Government Health Authorities, and utilisation of redundant officers.
He had direct dealings with Programme Officers like the State Immunisation Officer,rather than complying with the demands of the Board Organogram, ostensibly for reasons of pecuniary benefits,giving room for mediocrity,fraudulent practices and inefficiency.
There were reports of development partners stating that Dr Fabiyi told them that delay in payments of counterpart funds were as a result of negligence on Mr Governor's part,whereas the reverse was the case, and lapses were in fact as a result of Dr Fabiyi's ineptitude,negligence and gross incompetence.
There was a proposal by a Consulting Firm to help in Resource Mobilisation for the Primary Health Care Board at no cost to the State – he didn’t allow it to see the light of the day.The Routine Immunisation Coverage of the State was at an all low level of 53%,as against the National expectation of 80%.
He refused to do the needful in stemming the ugly tide.
