STATE COORDINATOR VISITS SAKI WEST LOCAL GOVERNMENT: ATTENDS MEDICAL CDS OUTREACH; AIDS MOSQUITO NETS DISTRIBUTION

The newly appointed State Coordinator of Oyo State, Mr. Abel Odoba, in a bid to promote health education and medical awareness, visits Saki West Local Government and also took part in the medical check-up and health talk. The event took place at the Okere Palace Hall also had in attendance, the Local Government Inspector (LGI) for Saki West Local Government, Mr. Orimogunje John, the Assistant Director of CDS, staff members of the CDS team from the state headquarters, corps doctor, the Okere of Saki land emissaries, chiefs from the palace and the medical CDS members. A Health talk was delivered by the Medical CDS Doctor, Dr. Kolawole Jude, who admonished the indigenes and invited guests on healthy living and the importance of medical check-ups.

The residents of the community came out in their hundreds to partake in the exercise, which gave them the opportunity to know their mental and physical health status, as well as appropriate medications for them, the activity also featured free General consultations, physiotherapy, blood pressure check, blood sugar screening, Retroviral screening, Hepatitis B and C screening, eye test, dental check-up, among others. A team of Corps Medical Officials from Iseyin camp joined the group to attend to the residents and indigenes whose blood pressure, sugar level, and eyes, among others, were tested and received medications.

While speaking with newsmen in an interview, the Medical CDS President, Raheem Azeez Abiola said “The major objective for the outreach is to bring healthcare services closer to the community at no cost because access to medical care is a big challenge in Nigeria. A lot of people with one underlying ailment or the other are dying in silence because they can’t afford the exorbitant hospital bills. We as Corp members saw the need to do something about the deteriorating health of some of the members of the community, so we sought help from buoyant members of the community and NYSC, and to the Glory of God we were able to come up with this initiative the little way we can”

The Medical CDS Doctor, Dr. Kolawole Jude, stated that "from the tests conducted, most of the indigenes are not living healthy, as some of them were diabetic and with high blood pressure". Sessions were held on how to live a healthy life. Participants were encouraged to have good health-seeking behaviour and desist from self-medication or drug abuse.

The Vice President of the Medical CDS group, Juliana Olaoye, said, "these things are expected, as some of the participants are elderly, who experience health conditions as they advance in age and it keeps getting worse due to the negligence of their caretaker or lack of proper health education.

One of the beneficiaries, Alhaja Awero Suaibu, who could not hide her joy, expressed gratitude to the Corp Members and NYSC for the kind gesture. She said, in her native dialect, Yoruba, “I am happy for this malaria treatment and dental check-up because I don’t have money to go to the hospital, we thank the Corp members and their leaders for bringing this kind of program to the community for the old and elderly, and we also appreciate them for the mosquito nets and drugs”

Other beneficiaries of the free medical check-up and health awareness were widows, widowers, single mothers, children, bike riders, community chiefs, Pregnant women who are most vulnerable and prone to malaria infection, nursing mothers, adults and adolescents.

"After you leave home, you may find yourself feeling homesick, even if you have a new home that has nicer wallpaper and a more efficient dishwasher than the home in which you grew" ~ Abdur - Rahman Adeniji

The magazine, "THE SAKI COMPENDIUM" published by FACE of AFRIKA, an international magazine/TV, enshrined in its pages the historical antecedents and its traditional down to modern time development of Saki Land. The initiative was spearheaded by the aim of upholding the history, traditions and values of Saki as a City - hence, the need to have its documentary in prints.

Saki City which is currently ruled by HRM OBA(DR) SURV. KHALID OLABISI OYENIYI AYINLA ADO OYEDEPO 111, has been known for its ancestral heritage and entreprenurial foundation. Productivity through hand skilled individuals can not be over-emphasized in the city.

In the light of the magazine's launch, the NYSC Editorial Team rendered its special panegyrical poem titled, "Master Piece of Saki: Saki Panegyrics". The team which is headed by its Editor In Chief, Adeniyi Segun Alexandra, who also doubles as the Corp Liaison Officer, rendered its spoken poem which revered the city and its history.

The Editor in Chief, the author of, "Saki La'nki"(a poem) and "Delineating the Esthetics of Saki Town"(an essay) in the Saki Compendium revealed his in-depth respect for the editorial development that thrives in Saki City. He considered the magazine as one which will undoubtedly serve its purpose of informing and educating emerging generations - a story to be retold.

Ashiru Allynson, the publisher of the Magazine had been notably identified as an individual who despite his feats in other states, has never forgotten his root. He was inwardly and outwardly regarded as a progressive individual who pursues the growth and the modernity of the city - more reasons, the magazine was relentlessly made to see the light.

"WE HAVE FAILED IF WE KEEP LETTING THE ECONOMY PULL US DOWN, ENTREPRENEURSHIP HAPPENS TO BE THE BEST PATH"- ADENIYI SEGUN ALEXANDRA, CORPS LIAISON OFFICER, SAKI WEST AS NYSC SAKI WEST, ORGANIZES ITS 1ST TRADE FAIR TO PROMOTE ENTREPRENEURSHIP.

The entire environs of Saki West Local Government Area received a recent development as the NYSC Executives led by Comr. Adeniyi Segun Alexandra, the Corp Liaison Officer and its Local Government Inspector, Mr. Orimogunje John; organized a trade Fair which was a light amidst the present economic dark times.

In the intitiave which was held on Thursday 29th September, 2022, Corp members and individuals were encouraged to promote their entreprenurial skills, which was also surbodinated by the sales of products at discount rates.

Eyewitnesses revealed the events of the initiative as one which gave fertile grounds for entrepreneurs to sell their products, which in turn served as an incentive to motivate and foster such lifestyle amidst the trying times of the economy in the country.

During an interview, an eye witness in his reports said," it happens to be that the economy has overridden the effectiveness of certificates, many youths have therefore resorted to entrepreneurship. Seeing this program happening and organized by youths, I am glad to witness the take over of independence in our present day".

Several entrepreneurs were present to showcase their vocations, some of which were, fashion designers, hair stylists, photographers, small scale business owners, home made products manufacturers amongst others.

In the remarks of the Corp Liaison Officer, Adeniyi Segun Alexandra, he stated, "NYSC was highly acquainted with the turn around experienced in our present economy, little wonder, the SAED programs was duly infused in the scheme. We are almost closer to being less motivated in education, striving to survive after schooling has led to several juvenile delinquencies.

But as it is, rather than engaging in such crises, many youths have become business owners . This initiative, therefore, being one of its kind in this locality, is objectively serving as a sensitization to the younger generation about entrepreneurship.

We have failed if we keep letting the economy pull us down, entrepreneurship happens to be the best path as we speak. It is no longer news that after school, we have to strive harder to make ends meet legally. Why not entrepreneurship since white collar jobs can no longer pay the ransoms the present economy requests?".

The initiative was highly supported by the Local Government Secretariat officials and the Local Government Inspector. It was however maintained that youths are at the verge of forfeiting white collar opportunities since entrepreneurship makes them financially independent and better. The best way to be self independent.

According to one of the beneficiaries, Corper Emilia, "the medical free test is a good intitiave. Many haven't been aware of where they needed medical help but through this initiative by the medical CDS team, many have discovered reasons why they should not ignore important medical check ups no matter how little".

The President of the Medical CDS group, Corper Azeez encouraged Corp members and attendees of the program in ensuring an healthy environment. In his statements, many have thought there were no reasons to conduct medical check-up themselves, little wonder why many die from unknown illnesses.

The program was considered an awareness of its own. One which takes on the clarion call to fight against medical instability in the country. Being one of the key sectors in the country, the health of the citizens is undoubtedly the wealth of such country.

SAKI WEST: IMPACT THRIVES AS PASSING OUT CORP MEMBER, AKINOSI MUIDEEN, CORPERS LIAISON OFFICER(C.L.O) ORGANIZES PAPER PRESENTATIONS AND DONATES WRITING MATERIALS TO STUDENTS AT OBA KILANI SECONDARY SCHOOL, SAKI WEST.

Once again, the need to make impacts in the lives of younger generation resurfaced as a Batch B Stream 2 passing out corp member, Akinosi Muideen organized a group paper presentation for selected students and at the end, donated school writing materials to participants who performed excellently.

Muideen who is proudly recognized and known for his exemplary leadership abilities as the Corpers Liaison Officer(C.L.O) has taken to lead as a model to other serving corp members. The strive to foster development within the locality apparently served as the foundation for such actions towards the fast growing students.

The presentation which was fairly judged by ex Corper Abibat and serving Corper Shedrach created more imprints in the minds of the younger ones about the need to pursue educational growth as a person and as a citizen in the country.

The presentation which was mainly centred on chemistry as a subject gave room for the students to showcase their academic abilities, convince the spectators about the standard their teachers and the school at large, Oba Kilani Secondary School has always groomed them with.

The impact activity had the presence of the Assistant Cds Coordinator, Corper Yusuf; the Editor in Chief, Saki West, Corper Segun and the Editorial Director of Photography, Corper Emmanuel (KENZIE).

In such a thoughtful and revealing tone, Muideen scoffs and scorns at under literacy amongst students when he said, "there shouldn't be any reason why education should fail. If today, we want our country to finish the war of slavery, we should give our children books rather than bullets. Peace rather than violence and knowledge rather than ignorance".
