Welcoming the patients and people to the programme, the Chairman of Mushin Local Government, Hon. Emmanuel Bamigboye, enjoined the people to take good advantage of the programme to know their health status and get free treatments without paying any dime, as being provided by the amiable and committed governor, who values the lives of his people, even at this time when many cannot afford to get such for free, due to the current situation in the country.

The chairman tasked the beneficiaries towards paying back in kind to the Governor and his deputy, through their voting power as the best way to propel continuity of such programme across the state and make the Governor to do more in his second term administration.
