Somebody nominated me for the grant which I got last month or thereabout and I felt this is another opportunity for me to do what I use to do. So immediately I got the grant, I took the money then I contacted some of my friends, ten Doctors and twenty nurses and we located Karara which is one of the largest Communities in Kogi State for this Programme.”
He explained that people with different ailment such as malaria, Typhoid, high blood pressure, Diabetes, stomach ulcers etc where attended to and given drugs without paying a dime.
According to him, most of the beneficiaries are children, women and men.
While thanking the Vice President’s league of Friends for giving him the opportunity to reach out to the down trodden, Dr. Olusola appealed to well to do individuals to reach out to people no matter how small.
“I want to use the opportunity to tell the Vice President that what he gave me through his friends have touched many lives and I am fulfilled.”
Some of the Beneficiaries, John Abuh, Hajara Abdulkadir and Idris Ibrahim expressed appreciation to Dr. Baoku Olusola for his philanthropic disposition which they said is worthy of emulation.
They thanked league of friends of Prof. Osinbajo for the grant and prayed God to reward and take him higher.
