Commissioner Takes Medical Outreach, Empowerment Programme To Lagos Community
Folashade Ambrose-Medebem, Lagos State Commissioner for Commerce, Cooperatives, Trade, and Investments, has launched a health initiative and empowerment programme for her constituency as part of her commitment to improving the lives of Lagos Island residents.
Ambrose-Medebem spoke at the launch of “My Health, My Prosperity” (Igbega Ilera, Igbega Oro Aje) Outreach for Lagos Island Constituents in Idi Omo, Isale Eko, Lagos Island.
She stated that the initiative reflected her “unwavering commitment to uplifting the lives of Lagos Island people by addressing two critical pillars of development: access to healthcare and skill acquisition.”
The commissioner affirmed that the event was perfectly aligned with Governor Babajide Sanwo Olu’s vision, as encapsulated in the T.H.E.M.E.S.+ Development Agenda, and that the emphasis on improved healthcare and social inclusion ensures that Lagos remains a 21st-century economy that leaves no one behind.
Hundreds of people benefitted from the state’s first outreach in Lagos Island Constituency 1, where they received free medical screenings and health education on eye diseases, cervical cancer, high blood pressure, diabetes, and HIV/AIDS.
Other services provided at the event included vocational training and training kits, distribution of filled 6 kg gas cylinders with burners, and yuletide food distribution.
Ambrose, who organised the event, stated that she wanted to show love to the people of her constituency, explaining that access to health and wealth was part of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s THEMES Plus agenda, which the outreach was intended to promote.
In terms of skill acquisition and training, she stated that she is providing targeted training in high-demand areas such as tailoring, beauty services, digital skills, and entrepreneurship to empower youth and unlock their potential.
“Where skills meet opportunity, wealth creation and employment generation are unavoidable,” Ambrose added.
