Over 2,000 individuals from the Ikeja Police Barracks community in Lagos benefited from an impactful outreach programme spearheaded by ‘Young Professionals for Tinubu (YP4T)’, an advocacy and support group working in alignment with the ‘Renewed Hope Agenda’of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. The initiative provided critical medical services, care packages, food supplies, and financial assistance to widows, wives, and vulnerable residents, demonstrating the heart of nation-building through community-centered support.
CEO of Medvita Consultancy and the lead doctor on-site, Dr. Love V. Tinuoye, who spoke about the impact of the initiative, said: “This initiative reflects a collective commitment to advancing healthcare in Nigeria. We were able to screen for and address critical health issues such as hypertension and diabetes while also providing preventive care like vaccinations and cancer screenings. This is what true community-focused care looks like.”
Beyond medical services, the outreach distributed care packages containing food staples, toiletries, and financial support, designed to alleviate the challenges faced by vulnerable members of the police barracks community. A businesswoman and beneficiary, Mrs. Jumoke Elom, shared her gratitude, saying: “I am deeply grateful for this program. The care my family received today—both medical and material—has given us hope and reminded us that we are not alone. It shows that there is real support for families like mine.”
Security Expert and Director of YP4T, Alex Oware, who explained the innovation behind the initiative, said: “The Renewed Hope Agenda is about about bringing real transformation to communities. This initiative embodies that vision by supporting over 2,000 people—not just through tangible resources, but by reaffirming their place in the collective growth of our nation. It lies at the soul of Renewed Hope: fostering resilience and creating opportunities for all Nigerians.”
