In the quest to fulfil its promise of providing basic medical check-up to its teeming consumers irrespective of the location in Nigeria, the power oil health camp team has extended its outreach to the Mariri Community in Kumbotso local government area of Kano state and Tunge-Maje Community in Gwagwalada, Abuja.
The heart health mission initiative is a daily and on-going project primarily aimed at bringing free basic health check-up closer to the public with the assistance of certified doctors while sensitizing them on ways to keep the heart functioning perfectly and how to maintain a low moderate cholesterol body system.
Power oil health camp initiative kicked off in 2013 with strong footprint in nine locations.
In Kano, the power oil medical check-up activation exercise enjoyed the full participation of the district head, the councillor, women leader of the Mariri community and the entire community members while the district and village head as well as the women leader were also in attendance in Abuja.
Speaking during the exercise, the Public Relations Manager of Power oil, Omotayo Azeez said the main focus and commitment of the brand is the wellbeing of their teeming consumers.
‘‘Considering the alarming rate of health complications in the society, we are taking this as a part of our responsibilities to sensitize Nigerians on the need to lead and maintain a healthy lifestyle through regular check-ups and healthy choice of food”
Saminu Garba, district head in Mariri community, testified to the sense of fulfilment that he gets when his meal is being prepared with power oil.
“I am a strong advocate of the saying that you are ultimately what you eat. That is why we will always throw our support behind power oil not only by helping the public by propagating the importance of eating healthy but also going some steps higher in providing free medical check-up for us, we are sincerely grateful”.
Bashir Hassan, the councillor of the Mariri community who was also present at the health camp said the steps taken by power oil to ensure that consumers maintain a healthy health is commendable and worthy of emulation.
‘‘It is highly delightful to see a corporate organization floating such a laudable project like this in Nigeria and making it easily accessible to everyone. I implore other corporate organisations to follow suit,’’ Hassan said.
In Abuja, the health camp team also recorded a remarkably huge turnout of particularly women in both Tunge-maje community and gwagwalada.
Rabi Usman, the women leader showed unreserved appreciation to the team for coming with such a fortifying initiative.
“The current economic situation in the country has not been favourable to the poor and going to the hospital for check-ups will drill a hole in their pockets. We are glad that power oil has been encouraging the drive to a healthy society,” Usman said.
