Ogun State's Kehinde Bello Advocates for Grassroots Healthcare

Kehinde Bello, the Senior Special Assistant to Ogun State Governor Dapo Abiodun and General Manager of the Ogun State Environmental Protection Agency, called on political office holders to enhance grassroots democracy by investing in programs that improve constituents' well-being. He made this statement during a one-day optical medical outreach for over 2,000 residents from Ijebu East, Ijebu North, and Ogun Waterside Local Government Areas.

The outreach, titled “Jigi Bello: Restoring Sights, Renewing Hope and Transforming Lives through Accessible Eye Care,” took place at the Ijebu Imusin Muslim Community Events Centre. Bello highlighted that the initiative provided free eye examinations and corrective glasses, aiming to restore hope and improve residents' quality of life.

He pledged to cover the costs of referrals from the outreach and urged other political leaders to implement similar programs. Local leaders, including Dr Kehinde Oluwadare and Oba Mufutau Kasali, praised the initiative for its positive impact on the community.
