A Peg That Fits All Holes: Akin Fagbemi’s Transformative Year at OYSHMB By Alabi Re Mí Re
In a political and administrative terrain where performance often struggles to meet expectations, Dr. Mogaji Akin Stephen Fagbemi has proven himself an exceptional outlier. As he marks one year in office as Chairman of k9 Oyo State Hospital Management Board (OYSHMB), his achievements have continued to attract commendation from stakeholders across the state.

Known for his doggedness, innovation, and results-driven leadership, Dr. Fagbemi was appointed to the OYHMB following his sterling performance as Chairman of the Oyo State Road Transport Management Authority (OYRTMA). During his time at OYRTMA, he weathered fierce criticism and operational challenges, yet managed to set a gold standard in public service.
Among his most celebrated initiatives was the creation of the Fast-track Emergency Response Operations Team—an innovation that has significantly reduced the response time to road accidents and, in turn, saved numerous lives.
Transitioning into the health sector, many wondered if the former road safety boss could replicate such success in the highly sensitive and complex terrain of healthcare administration. True to form, Dr. Fagbemi not only adapted but also hit the ground running. Within a year, the OYHMB has seen notable improvements in infrastructure, medical personnel welfare, hospital management systems, and patient care services across Oyo State.
Under his leadership, the Board has implemented strategic reforms aimed at achieving sustainable healthcare delivery. These include enhanced supervision of hospital facilities, support for rural health programs, and the modernization of healthcare operations in line with global best practices.
Dr. Fagbemi’s approach is holistic, combining policy knowledge with administrative finesse. A man of impressive academic credentials, his leadership style is marked by transparency, responsiveness, and a rare ability to inspire his team towards excellence.

Those who know him well are not surprised by his consistent achievements. In both public and private life, Dr. Fagbemi has established a reputation for integrity and innovation. He is a man who understands systems, identifies problems, and crafts practical, impactful solutions. Whether it’s road safety or healthcare management, he has shown an uncanny ability to adapt and succeed—an ability that has earned him the apt description: “A Peg That Can Fit All Holes.”
As he continues to steer the Oyo State Hospital Management Board toward greater success, stakeholders remain optimistic that Dr. Fagbemi’s tenure will leave a lasting legacy in the state’s healthcare sector—just as he did in transportation. In a time when Nigeria desperately needs leaders who deliver beyond rhetoric, Dr. Akin Fagbemi stands tall as a shining example of what is possible when competence meets commitment.
