   Harmzat commended Mimiko for the establishment of the world class Kidney Centre, Gani Fawehinmi Diagnostic Centre and Trauma Centre in Ondo town among other performances noting that as the first illustrious son of Ondo kingdom to become governor, he has not disappointed the town and the state in general.
