By Testimonies as Council deliver free medical tests, drugs and eye surgeries
It was a relieving moment for residents of Ijede LCDA in Ikorodu Division of Lagos as the council administration organized a 3-day medical outreach for people with peculiar health conditions especially eye problems.
BlackBox Nigeria gathered that several residents who turned up in their hundreds were administered drugs and eye glasses all for free while some others had to be recommended for surgery. Tests were also carried out for people with High Blood Pressure, Malaria patients as well as deworming of both adults and children.
The council Chairman, Hon. Salisu Fatiu Jimoh however revealed that his administration will also be taking charge of surgery expenses for those who require such while disclosing that he is committed to ensuring that the people of Ijede LCDA live in good health.
The council Vice Chairman who also doubles as the Supervisor for Health, Hon. Motunrayo Gbadebo in a chat with BlackBox Nigeria said the program was introduced as a way fulfilling some of their campaign promises.
“The medical outreach was organized to ensure that our people are well taken care of. Their health matters to us because health is wealth and our administration has vowed to make sure everyone is positively affected one way or the other. This is however just one of the things we shall be doing in fulfillment of our campaign promises,” Motunrayo Gbadebo said.
The program which held from December 4th to 6, 2017 saw hundreds of people get tested while drugs and glasses were also administered. The tests took place at three different locations in Ijede LCDA.
Some of the beneficiaries couldn’t contain their joy as they were seen dancing and singing praises of the Hon. Salisu led administration.
