Services included general consultations, maternal care, and eyeglass distribution, receiving widespread community praise.
Ounje Eko, addressing food security amid economic challenges, has reached over 250,000 beneficiaries with essential food items at discounted rates.
Its Sunday Markets, offering discounts at 58 locations, have been particularly popular. Both programs underscore the state’s commitment to improving health and food access for Lagosians.
