Isolo LCDA

Sat. 7th Sept. ‘24

Buoyed by the need to give back to society and also complement the remarkable

developmental efforts of the Olasoju Adebayo-led administration in Isolo LCDA especially in the healthcare sector, Junior Chambers International, Ikeja, on Friday through one of its departments ‘Big Broda’ made donations of hospital equipment to Ajao Estate Primary Healthcare facility. 

The items which included two Double Crank beds, one examination bed, one oxygens gas cylinder, a Ward screen, and two drip stands among others were presented to the council boss on the council premises. 

According to the president of the visiting NGO, Omowunmi Fakoya, the humanitarian efforts became important following a thorough need assessment exercise carried out in the health facility and the need to support the council’s efforts to ensure quality healthcare delivery for residents of the community. 

Corroborating Fakoya’s remark, the Director of Big Broda, JCI Ikeja, Ediril Erhueh, added that the donation was in furtherance of the department’s commitment to acting its name out like a big brother will do to his younger ones. 

According to him: “We have different departments in JCI one of which is ‘Big Broda’. What we have come to do today is act like a big brother to our younger ones; someone who is less privileged. We’ve only come to show ourselves as a big brother to Ajao Estate Health Center by this donation.” 

The council chairman, Olasoju Adebayo commended the NGO for the handsome donation as he assured of effective and proper usage of the items for the benefit of residents in the elite community. He went on to charge well-meaning individuals, NGOs, and Service clubs alike to see the need to support the government in any way possible just as JCI has done.

“It’s a good one and I want to thank the NGO - JCI for deeming it fit and being thoughtful that giving back to society is a task for everybody. The government alone cannot do it so they are here playing their part and we will play our part. On our end, we will make good use of what has been donated by JCI and we thank them and pray that God Almighty will replenish their pocket. We hope that other agencies and NGOs should emulate what JCI has done today,” the council boss said. 

On her part, the Permanent Secretary, Lagos State Health District 6, Abimbola Mabogunje who witnessed the donation thumbed up the NGO for what she described as a kind gesture adding that the state is open to partnership for continued improvement in the health and other areas.

Other items donated by the NGO included a resuscitator for kids, an electric pressure machine, a first aid box, and an Accu check.

The highlight of the event was the symbolic presentation of one of the equipment by the club’s president to the council boss who was flanked by the Permanent Secretary, the council medical officer of health, Dr. Anne Okonma as well as other JCI members and council staff.
