The Executive Chairman of Lekki Local Council Development Area (LCDA), Engr. Rasaki Bamidele Kasali (MNSE, MNATE), participated in a well-attended medical outreach where 617 residents received free healthcare services at the Council Secretariat.
Epe Insights reports that during the outreach, the Chairman engaged directly with residents and emphasised the importance of taking personal health seriously.
He encouraged both beneficiaries and the wider community to utilize services available at Primary Health Centres across the LCDA.
He stressed the need for regular medical check-ups, noting that early detection plays a key role in effective treatment. According to him, consistent use of local health facilities will improve overall health outcomes among residents.
Engr. Kasali also reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to the wellbeing of the people. He disclosed that efforts are underway to organize such medical outreaches more frequently to reach a larger population.
For many beneficiaries, the programme provided access to professional healthcare services they might have otherwise delayed or been unable to afford. The outreach served as a critical intervention in addressing immediate health needs.
The initiative aligns with the Chairman’s broader healthcare vision focused on accessibility and prevention. His administration continues to prioritize community-based healthcare delivery across Lekki LCDA.
By bringing healthcare services closer to the people, the council is not only addressing illnesses but also promoting long-term wellness. The effort contributes to building a healthier and more productive community.
The outreach programme was organized by the Medical Officer of Health, Dr. Mbalaso Chidinma. It formed part of ongoing efforts to improve access to quality healthcare at the grassroots level.
Residents benefitted from a range of essential medical services during the exercise. These included blood pressure and blood sugar checks, laboratory tests, dental care, eye screenings, and general medical consultations.
Free medications were provided based on diagnosis, while health professionals offered counselling on disease prevention and healthy living. This approach helped to reinforce awareness of preventive healthcare practices.
The large turnout recorded at the outreach reflects growing awareness among residents about the importance of regular health checks. It also highlights the need for continued community-based health interventions.
Lekki LCDA has reiterated its commitment to sustaining programmes that directly impact public health. The council continues to encourage residents to remain proactive about their wellbeing.
