“We are bringing this program on board to support the Lagos State Government T.H.E.M.E.S agenda in our little capacity. Today, we are actually carrying out a medical outreach flag-off which is going to hold in 13 different locations within three Local Governments which are Epe, Eredo and Agbowa-Ikosi. We want to help our people in terms of medical checks up to understand their health status. I understand people don’t take their health status serious, so we want to help them. Free medication is available for beneficiaries based on their health status,” he stated.

He called on well-meaning individuals in the upper echelon of the society to pool their God-given resources together and assist the poor and vulnerable through life-changing humanitarian programs.
