Lagos GAC Chairman Praises Rep Dolapo Badru for Social Welfare Initiatives In Constituency
The Federal Lawmaker Distributes Food Items, Cash Gifts, Clothing Materials, and Provides Free Medical Care to Elderly Constituents
The Chairman of the Lagos Governor’s Advisory Council (GAC) and an elder statesman, Alh. Prince Tajudeen Oluyole Olusi has commended Hon. Dolapo Badru for his impactful representation and commendable constituency projects.
Dr. Dolapo Badru is a distinguished member of the Federal House of Representatives, representing Lagos Island Federal Constituency 1.
Widely regarded as a “man of the people,” Dr. Badru continued his efforts on Saturday, November 2, 2024, by distributing numerous bags of various food items, cash gifts, and clothing materials to the elderly in his constituency.
During this distribution exercise, hundreds of residents received assistance while praising the efforts on Lagos Island.
Speaking at the event, Dr. Badru explained that while he has organized numerous empowerment programs in the past, this initiative was particularly driven by the current economic challenges facing the country.
“Ahead of the Social Welfare Intervention, I deployed my team to visit homes, and our investigations revealed that a significant number of elderly individuals require medical attention and essential supplies,” Dr. Badru stated.
He noted that many senior citizens had been overlooked and lacked adequate medical care. “I will engage more grassroots volunteers to identify the vulnerable in the constituency,” he added.
Dr. Badru also announced plans to provide additional food items for distribution during the festive season and beyond.
Earlier that week, he organized a two-day free medical care service for senior citizens, where medical doctors and health attendants conducted screenings and collected blood samples for analysis.
During this medical outreach, beneficiaries reported various health issues, and Dr. Badru pledged to cover their medical bills for two months. The high-ranking federal legislator is committed to providing further assistance for the less privileged in his constituency.
In response to Dr. Badru’s humanitarian efforts, GAC Chairman Prince Olusi praised the lawmaker’s social welfare initiatives, stating, “The elderly support program is timely and highly commendable.” He described Dr. Badru as a legislator worthy of emulation.
A beneficiary and former Iya Oloja General of Nigeria, Alhaja Adenike Lawal, expressed her gratitude to Dr. Badru for his unwavering support for both young and old residents of Lagos Island Local Government Area. She stated, “Dolapo Badru is truly a man of the people. He cares for the needy and is readily accessible.”
Additionally, Alh. Fatai Adetutu remarked that Dr. Badru is the best House of Representatives member ever elected for Lagos Island Federal Constituency 1, urging him to continue his good work.
