IKORODU PECULIAR LIONS CLUB EDUCATES 135 SENIOR STUDENTS OF STRONG TOWER ACADEMY ON DIABETES ®™√ INN Nigeria © 99987ujjnhhhhhj7870227613037494878 Ably led by its President, Lion David Akinosho PJMF NLCF, members of Ikorodu Peculiar Lions club touchdown Strong Tower Academy on the 9th of March 2023. Hauling on health intentions, the presence of the club brought out students from the senior arm of the institution for an educative discourse that lasted for over 40 minutes. About 135 students of the school, in Ikorodu, were taught the dangers of diabetes, including an interactive section to ascertain preventive measures on blood sugar levels among other things. The seminar and Orientation event was organised by Ikorodu Peculiar Lions Club of District 404A1, Nigeria as part of its project for the year 2022-2023 service tenure. Speaking to the students, the club's President, Lion David Akinosho PJMF NLCF, said diabetes is simply a health condition that results from increased sugar levels in the blood. According to him, the condition could be adequately managed to ensure that the patient lives for as long as feasible. Lion Akinosho continued, "We came here to create an understanding of the implications and gravity of having diabetes," "Diabetes is a life-long illness. There is no cure, but it can be sufficiently regulated by lifestyle adaptations, by constant screening and checks, and also medications". "The illness can be genetic. One can also become diabetic as a result of being overweight or even with less weight depending on the type of uncontrolled food they consumed". "Age is also an important factor, as individuals are at higher risk of becoming diabetic," He said. Furthermore, the club's President, Lion Akinosho explained that most times, individuals living with diabetes don't know about it until it gets to the critical degree of stage 3, asserting that it will never be the student's portion. “Diabetes is one of the core areas of the Lions Club International, and we do this yearly. The club has five core areas which comprise hunger, diabetes, childhood cancer, environment and vision,” Lion Akinosho said. At the peak of the program, Students were allowed to ask sensitive questions, which the club did justice to by presenting the right response and recommendations to aid learners with proper guidance. The club subsequently went from there to Low-Cost Primary School (at Low-Cost Housing Estate) along Sabo road in Ikorodu, where they also administered diabetes symptoms tests to over 25 teachers.

SANWO-OLU FEEDS 5000 INDIGENT PREGNANT WOMEN ®™√ INN Nigeria © 383ij3j3nnn8892954181517033884 Lagos State Governor, Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu has, since the launch of the Mother Infant Child Health Development (MICHD) Programme, fed about 5,000 indigent pregnant women registered in Public Healthcare Centres (PHC) across the 20 LGAs and 57 LCDAs of the State. The Commissioner for Health, Prof. Akin Abayomi disclosed this in his address during Phase IV of the Mother Infant and Child Development programme organised by the Office of Civic Engagement for another set of 570 indigent pregnant women in the State, held at the Adeyemi-Bero Auditorium, Alausa, Ikeja, The Commissioner stated that the MICHD, launched by Mr Governor on the 22nd of September, 2021, is a component of the Office of Civic Engagement's "WOMB TO SCHOOL INITIATIVE", designed as a preventive rather than a curative security measure geared towards making Lagos safer by the year 2050. While commending the effort of the State Government on the initiative, the Commissioner said Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu is determined to ensure that all children in the State have access to good health, food, education and ample opportunities to excel. He added that eating healthy during pregnancy helps foetal development while also eating healthy after pregnancy helps the mother to lactate very well and give the children the necessary breast milk that is required for child brain development. Earlier, the Special Adviser on Civic Engagement, Princess Aderemi Adebowale said the Mother Infant and Child Development 'MICHD-2050' programme is an initiative that looks at security from conception to birth, to adolescence and into adulthood. She explained that a nutritional link to the security of Lagos State is the belief that the best time to plan for “A Rising Greater Lagos” is today. Hence, the MICHD-2050 Project is driven by the notion that when a child's brain is fully formed, both the child and the State will benefit from adequate and sustainable human capital investment towards having “CIVICALLY RESPONSIBLE CITIZENS” who will contribute positively to the socio-economic development of the State. Princess Adebowale averred that the programme is dedicated to providing weekly nutritious food packs and pregnancy education to aid proper foetal brain development and safe delivery by focusing on the brain development of the child while in the womb. She added that from the first phase of the MICHD Programme piloted in the year 2020, 2,000 indigent pregnant women benefited; the second Phase had 1,140 comprising beneficiaries divided into 20 control and experimental groups to measure the impact of the food on the mothers and their babies while the third phase had another 570 women who received food packs which contained all the required nutrients to help in proper brain development of the foetus for 24 weeks starting from their second trimester till delivery. "Aside from the plan to provide food packs containing daily nutritious food and supplements for 570 pregnant women and nursing mothers, this fourth edition also showcases 228 nursing mothers who had earlier benefitted from the postnatal programme, that will now get a maternity box containing baby clothes and baby care articles", she said. General Manager, of Lagos State Health Management Agency, LASHMA, Dr Elizabeth Zamba said her agency has been on the MICHD journey with the Office of Civic Engagement for three years since it was first conceptualised. In her words: “it is a programme that we are fully aligned with because we are all about improving the quality of life of Lagos residents, especially Mothers and Children. Even the ILERA-EKO plan, the way it is designed, favours mothers and children and offers them the best health care. She said the agency will be enrolling 570 mothers on the ILERA-EKO plan for the next year, while those previously on it, will be renewed so that they can continue to have qualitative health care. “This is a passion of Mr Governor and also the Commissioner for Health as we journey towards universal quality healthcare”, Dr Zamba reaffirmed. The Chief Executive Officer, of Gero Care, a consulting firm working with the MICHD programme, Dr Ajibola Meraiyebu said “With this remarkable journey, we have seen all the changes and help that this project has brought to all the women. We have records of these women and we have been tracking and monitoring them throughout this journey". "These records are there to help the Ministry so that artificial intelligence can be introduced in the care of the women and children in Lagos and I know that there is an intention to touch every woman across the State", he added. Dignitaries present at the event include the Permanent Secretary of Primary Health Commission, Dr Ibrahim Mustapha; the Technical Adviser to the Commissioner for Health, Dr Olamide Okunlaja and the Supervisors for Civic Engagement for Local Government and Local Council Development Areas among others.

Mudashiru Obasa has said that the 30-day Islamic fasting allows the Muslim faithful to rededicate themselves to the religious tenet of piety, tolerance, forgiveness and love. Dr Obasa added that Ramadan is a period of sober reflection, supplication and humility beforeighty Allah. Obasa, in his Ramadan message released by Eromosele Ebhomele, his Chief Press Secretary, also congratulated Muslims in Lagos and Nigeria for having the divine privilege of being alive to partake in 'Sawm' and observe one of the five pillars of Islam. The Speaker equally described Ramadan as a period for Muslims in Lagos and Nigeria to show more commitment and adherence to the teachings of Prophet Muhammad, especially in the area of almsgiving and love for one another. Noting that the fasting came at the right time for Nigerians as the country just conducted the 2023 general election with Asiwaju Bola Tinubu as the President-elect, the Speaker urged Muslims to pray for the leadership of the country as well as the incoming administrations at national and state levels. "We thank Almighty Allah for the privilege He has given us to partake in this Ramadan. We also thank Him for all that He has done for us individually, for our State and for our country. "Just as we seek the face of Allah for our individual needs for is period, let us also remember our country, especially at this time. We are happy Allah answered our Special Tawaf of last year on the presidential ambition of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu. Now that victory has been recorded, let's all use this period to pray for the success of the forthcoming administration. "As we fast, let's not forget that almsgiving is a cardinal principle in Islam just like it is in every religion. We should spend each day sharing love and reaching out to others. "The Holy Qur'an instructs us to 'Spend in God’s cause: do not contribute to your destruction with your own hands, but do good, for God loves those who do good.' "Let's not also forget to be pious, humble, tolerant of each other and obey every of Allah's instructions now and always. Ramadan Kareem!" Obasa said while praying that every Nigerian would reap the reward of Ramadan.
