Earlier, the State Coordinator of NYSC, Prince Mohammed Momoh, noted that the Health Initiative for Rural Dwellers programme was introduced by the Director-General of the Corps in 2015, to mobilize corps medical volunteers in respective states, for health interventions through diagnosis, treatment, referrals and mass sensitization.<\/p>\n
He said that since the inception of the scheme, about 3000 persons in 15 rural communities had been reached in the State, stressing that the Corps would work harder to cover more rural communities in the short time.<\/p>\n
While commending the State Governor, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode for creating an enabling environment for the noble initiative of the NYSC to thrive in Lagos State, he reminded the people that the programme was for the benefit of all, hence the need for members of the benefitting communities to take ownership of its sustainability, saying the NYSC, would be motivated to do more, if it yields the desired result for which it was established.<\/p>\n
The programme was well attended by Chairman House Committee on Health, Hon. Segun Olulade, APC Women Leader, Chief Kemi Nelson, traditional rulers in the area, council chairmen, law makers, politicians and prominent individuals across the State.<\/p>\n
