ROTARY CLUB OF IKORODU METROPOLITAN TAKES FREE HEALTH PROGRAM TO LASUNWON COMMUNITY, CATERS TO OVER 200 RESIDENTS ®™√ INN Nigeria © 3003k3m2mmm5141975695604345736 With good health and vitality in view, Volunteer members of the Rotary Club of Ikorodu Metropolitan took to Lambo Lasunwon Community in Ikorodu on the 3rd of February 2023. The club, competently led by its President, Rotarian Shola Williams, graced the Orija Palace, championing the Rotary Family Health Day, a free medical program for residents. It featured Polio Immunization, Malaria Screening and Treatment, HIV Testing & Counseling, Hepatitis B&C, Diabetes & Glucose level Screening, Hypertension screening, Tuberculosis Screening, and Vitamin A Administration. Deworming of Children, Distribution of Insecticide-treated mosquito nets, Cervical/ Breast/ Prostate Cancer Screening, Family Planning Counselling & distribution of Condoms, Distribution of Sanitary pads for girls, Eye cataract tests, Dental Care, Covid-19 Awareness & Sensitisation were also administered. According to the President, the health program is annually performed to reach out to the less privy individuals or persons who are financially unable to cater to wellness. He pointed out that the project is formulated by the Rotary Club International, with the Bill & Belinda Gates Foundation, Hepatitis Zero World Eradication Project, End Polio Now, and the Federal Ministry Of Health fully involved as supporting partners. Rotarian Shola explains further, "We did the first edition of this program in October 2022, this is the 2nd edition, for us, it is an opportunity to give back to our communities, targeting the rural areas". "The palace space we're using is based on the support we got from the Baale of Orija Lambo of the Lasunwon community and we're overly grateful for his aid to enable the undertaking of this positive course" Rotarian Shola asserted. Medical Specialist and former President of the club, Rotarian (Dr) Bayo Ojo, who took charge of the health consultation desk and dispensation of free drugs during the program, told Ikorodu News Network (INN) that the program is a health awareness campaign set to prompt residents on how to quite handle their health cases. Dr Ojo, who's also the Managing Director of Excellence Hospital in Ikorodu, said the procedure uncovers silent-killing sicknesses like hypertension and diabetes. He proceeded, "Patients who have a sickness that the club can handle on the spot, we'll try our best to help them thoroughly after having their blood tested". "But in cases where the sickness is beyond our support, we'll give them proper channelled recommendations to help them get the adequate aid required". Dr Bayo elucidated that the advantage of the program is bringing the hospital directly to the community for those who are reluctant to go and seek help. "We're educating and giving them preventive measures, most especially the high risks individuals in the vicinity, which are the children below age 5 and also the pregnant women" Dr Bayo concluded. Baale of Orija Okegbegun, Adeowo Olayiwola Idris, thanked the club for bringing such a laudable health project to his community. The Baale also lengthened his appreciation to the Ayangbure of Ikorodu Kingdom, Oba Kabiru Adewale Shotobi, who made him the Baale of the neighbourhood. In his short remarks, Baale Olayiwola called the project a welcome development, saying that due to economic challenges, most Nigerians are sick and are also afraid to go for checkups due to the unknown financial charges attached. "Checking your vital signs is very important in the Nigeria of today, that's why I must applaud the Rotary club of Ikorodu Metropolitan for picking my community to execute this project". "Due to our interest in this program, after they told us of their coming, we informed the CDA/CDC, Okada riders, market women and everyone who'll be available to benefit from it". "We've also prayed for the club that God will continue to grow them as they continue to aid the community's growth" Baale Olayiwola added. In all, over 200 residents benefited from the program, with the Club receiving prayers and words of encouragement to continue their good works around the communities in the waterbed region.

ELECTION 2023: BOLA TINUBU 4 PRESIDENT 2023 SUPPORT GROUP STORMS IKORODU DIVISION, URGE MONARCHS TO GALVANISE VOTERS FOR APC CANDIDATES ®™√ INN Nigeria © 93o3kennm1981611413327069210 With an appraisal of 7.1 million voters registered in Lagos, the private pro-tinubu denomination took its southwest crusade back to the centre of excellence. The sixth stop of the Bola Tinubu 4 President 2023 support group's roadshow, took the faction to Ikorodu division, known as Nigeria's 12th largest city. The waterbed region went agog on the 28th of January 2023, as the campaign strength of the group, playing music and distributing colourful souvenirs was felt massively. Ikorodu division, which is made up of Igbogbo Baiyeku, Imota, Ijede, Ikorodu North, Ikorodu West and Ikorodu LG was lengthened out and thoroughly cruised by the group on a Saturday that saw the first rain downpour in 2023. Like comparable experiences in Ojo, Bariga, Oshodi, Isolo and Somolu provinces, residents and business owners in Ikorodu were soul-lifted in excitement, as the 2023 presidential election draws near (to a crescendo on February 25th). They extensively sounded the alarm for residents who are eligible voters but have yet to possess their PVCs to do so. Speaking with Ikorodu News Network (INN) at the palace of the Obateru of Egbin kingdom, Mr Fola Tinubu, DG - Vice-chairman, disclosed the faction's cravings to reach 6 other regions dispersed across southwest Nigeria before the election. According to Fola Tinubu, with 7.1 million registered voters in Lagos state, the organisation returned to the state, clamouring for more dwellers to take advantage of the open window provided by INEC. He continued, "If we can ascertain over 4 million voters from our loyal party base, it will give victory to all our flag-bearing candidates from the state to the national level". Channelling his remarks of appreciation to the Obateru of Egbin Kingdom, Fola Tinubu urged the king to ensure that youths with PVC do not play football on election day, rather they should put their cards to use. "Kabiesi, this time around, we must make sure that our people play an active part in the electoral process to vehemently support all our hardworking candidates". "It is our sixth stop so far in the roadshow which started in the 3rd quarter of 2022, and we've has alighted Ondo, Ekiti, Osun and Ogun states, we look forward to reaching other regions before the elections" Fola Tinubu asserted HRM, Oba Adeoriyomi Oluwasesan Abudul-Akeem, Obateru of Egbin Kingdom, in his statements, explained that all the kings across the division held a meeting with Governor Sanwo-Olu at the state house, and they resolved to make sure that out of the 7.1 million registered voters, they're aiming to gain over 5 million. According to HRM, "On a personal note, I've been an enthusiastic follower of Bola Tinubu since 2002". Kabiesi continued, "As far as my kingdom and household are concerned, it is APC all the way". "I've also reached out to all the wards with the support that should aid their voting process" He added. The Obateru of Egbin Kingdom has been on the throne for 13 years. Receiving the group, the king was also chaperoned by his Olori and chiefs. It was gathered that the denomination was also received by the Ayangburen of Ikorodu, HRM, Oba Kabiru Adewale Shotobi, who has always hurled his support behind the presidential ambition of the Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

IKORODU LG SET TO COMPLETE 176.8 METERS DRAINAGE PROJECT PLUS SLAB IN 1ST QUATRE 2023 ®™√ INN Nigeria © 9009888ujjht1028711134177343704 Ikorodu Local Government is laying the finishing touches to its lenient water passage project across the central part of Lagos's waterbed region. The project which began in November of 2022 is nearing its completion stage, and according to the council chairman, Hon. Wasiu Adesina, the project should be finalised by the end of 2023 first quarter. It is cast to be the lengthiest drainage project executed by a Local Government in Lagos State. In his message to Ikorodu News Network (INN), Hon. Adesina stated that the drainage was constructed during the Late Lateef Jakande's governorship tenure between 1979 and 1983, and has since been dilapidated. "I saw the need to restructure the drainage, and make it elevated, to ease the passage of water, plus a slab on top of it, serving as a walkway because the passage is very narrow". "It forsook worsened state resulted in gutter blockage which causes homes to drench in water during the rainy season". "But now, with this avant-garde upgrade and adequate channelling, the ancestral axis of Ikorodu Local Government will be safe from water smog" Adesina explained. The drainage system stretches from the state-of-the-art mini stadium and Youth Activity Centre in Ita-Elewa to Ikorodu central mosque, measuring a staggering length of 176.8 meters.

According to a release by the party, the state chairman, Hon. Cornelius Ojelabi said the decision was reached as a result of the state of the nation due to the scarcity of fuel and pain occasioned by the Naira redesign. He empathises with the general public, especially the downtrodden who are at the receiving end. He expressed the view that it will be insensitive to forge ahead with the various rallies with the situation of things. He emphasized that members of APC are not immune to the development as he has been inundated with several complaints. He joined his voice with those of other well-meaning Nigerians to call for the review of the Naira redesign policy to give it a human face and ameliorate the suffering of ordinary Nigerians. He equally appealed that petroleum products should be made available in order not to jeopardize the preparation for the elections and reduce the negative economic impact. He enjoined all Lagosians to remain law abiding as all issues are resolved in due course.

GREAT HEIGHT HOLDS PRE-ELECTION STAKEHOLDERS MEETING, CANVASS SUPPORT FOR APC’S HON. ABIODUN MOSHOOD ARO (AMA), OTHER APC FLAG-BEARERS ®™√ INN Nigeria © 03o3k4nm4m3mm1191412460766541494 Female-dominated group in Ijede LCDA, Great Height, has openly declared their support for the All Progressive Congress (APC) party in Ikorodu division, Lagos State and Nigeria in general. A political backing, made known by the faction's founder, Chief Princess Ezuma Scholastica, popularly dubbed Ada-Igbo gburugburu at her pre-election stakeholder's meeting. Held on the 6th of February 2023 in Igbodu axis of Ijede, the group converged with her members, informing them to ready their PVC towards the forthcoming elections. The discussion brought in stakeholders of the group who are squarely from the constituency 2 regions of Ikorodu i.e Igbogbo Baiyeku LCDA, Imota LCDA and Ijede LCDA. Without grating messages, the faction founder, Princess Scholastica Ezuma stated that as a woman leader who has been involved with politics for over 35 years, she is always pressured by the sobs of her people to offer solutions to their difficulties. According to Princess Ezuma, election day will present itself like an exam fever for only those who are not certain about their candidate of choice, putting in that for her group, it's APC from top to bottom. Explaining further, she said, "When I contested some years ago, it was an indigene of Ikorodu that sponsored me, and now it's time for me to give my entire base behind capable candidates in Ikorodu, and the All Progressive Congress (APC) party is my choice". "We understand how the system works and our choice is not laid based on sharing rice and collecting money, but on choosing adequate leadership that will improve the lives of our members". "For Lagos State House of Assembly in Ikorodu constituency 2, we're throwing all our support behind APC's Hon. Abiodun Moshood Aro (AMA), because according to his catchphrase, if you see AMA? you'll smile, and indeed we want our people to smile". Not lunging tiers, Princess Ezuma also vowed the group's support for Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the APC presidential candidate, Lagos State Governor, Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu, Senator Adetokunbo Mukahil Abiru, representing the Lagos East senatorial district and Hon. Babajimi Benson MHR, representing Ikorodu federal constituency. She urged members to go back home and gather their followers to get ready for election day, asserting that Ikorodu must not grieve post-election. Also addressing members, Elder Eze Ibe, another leader in the group said that presently, Nigeria is like a church that is about to witness crossover, noting that the choice of Princess Ezuma will never lead the group astray. He continued, "If they're bad then vote them out, but if they're good re-elect them". "The funny truth is, when you get to that ballot box, only you and God knows who you'll vote for". "So, be ready to exercise your civic duty for APC on election day and vote with your conscience". He further advised that a lot of other party candidates will be listed on the ballot papers, and voters are to check precisely for their chosen APC candidate on the sheet before voting. "If we have decided to support all flag-bearing candidates of the All Progressive Congress (APC) as declared by Princess Ezuma, then members should not be afraid or intimidated based on our recommendation" He concluded. The group finished up the dialogue, pitching another meeting before the election with plans to host the All Progressive Congress (APC) party candidates in Ikorodu. Welfare packages were distributed to all members in attendance at the meeting.
