The Chief Medical Director of the University of Benin Teaching Hospital (UBTH), Prof. Idia Ize-Iyamu, has felicitated Edo State Governor, Senator Monday Okpebholo, on his 56th birthday.
In a congratulatory message released in Benin on Saturday, August 29, 2026, the CMD thanked God for the governor’s life and good health, praising his determination, candor, and genuine commitment to the progress and wellbeing of the people of Edo State.
The CMD said, “On this special day, I join your family, friends and the people of Edo State in thanking God for your life and celebrating another year of your journey.
“Our relationship over the years, both personal and official, has given me the privilege of appreciating the man behind the office- your determination, your candour and your genuine concern for the progress and wellbeing of our people. I am therefore particularly delighted to celebrate you today.
“Your Excellency, your commitment to healthcare deserves special commendation. When government invests in healthcare, it does more than build facilities or provide equipment; it protects lives, restores hope and assures families that, when illness comes, they will have access to the care they need. That is a responsibility we must continue to embrace together.
“UBTH deeply values the partnership we have with the Edo State Government, and I am confident that there is even greater ground to cover. By deepening our collaboration and combining our respective strengths, we can expand access to quality care, strengthen specialised services and deliver healthcare that truly meets the needs of our people.
“As you mark this new age, may Almighty God preserve you in good health, grant you wisdom and strength for the responsibilities entrusted to you, and continue to guide you in the service of our dear State.
“May this new year bring you renewed grace, fulfilment and the satisfaction of seeing your efforts translate into better lives for the people of Edo State. Happy Birthday, Your Excellency. “
