Nestlé Nigeria renovates community health center in Sagamu

 

Community-Primary health care is a grassroots approach towards universal and equitable health care for all. However, some primary health care centers in the country often lack the capacity to provide essential healthcare services, due to challenges like inadequate equipment, poor infrastructure, and lack of essential drugs.

In addition to her contribution to capacity development of Health Care
Professionals, Nestlé Nigeria is contributing to changing the narrative with the refurbishment of facilities and equipping of the laboratory at Ajaka Primary Health Care Center in Sagamu.

 

This intervention will help improve the delivery of healthcare services to over 200,000 indigenes who depend on the centre.

 

Nestlé Nigeria completely renovated the buildings within the center, constructed sanitation facilities and a kitchenette.

The company also installed an alternate source of power supply and built a new laboratory equipped with new equipment.

 

To address the security challenges experienced by the center, Nestlé Nigeria built a perimeter fence around the facility and installed gates to control access.

This intervention supports Sustainable Development Goal 3 – Good Health and Well Being.

 

It is also in line with the Ogun State Government’s efforts to ensure the sustainability of primary health care in the state.

 

Speaking at the event, Nestlé’s Corporate Communications and Public Affairs
Manager, Mrs. Victoria Uwadoka, said, “At Nestlé, we recognize that access to adequate health care delivery is crucial to improving quality of life. This is why we invest in the improvement of healthcare delivery through various projects including the Ajaka Health Centre which we are here to commission.

 

We are glad that with the commissioning of this project, over 200,000 indigenes
of Sagamu now have access to improved health care services.”

 

She also commended the management of Transit Gas who provided additional
equipment for the health centre.

 

Dr. Elijah Ogunsola, Executive Secretary, Ogun State Primary Health Care Board,
who represented the Honorable Commissioner for Health, commended Nestlé for her continued investment towards improving livelihoods across the state.

“On behalf of the Government of Ogun State and the entire health team, I
appreciate the Management of Nestlé Nigeria for partnering with Ogun State
Government on this unquantifiable gesture in the delivery of qualitative health services to the good people of Sagamu Local Government through the provision of a conducive and patient-friendly environment. The Ogun State Government welcomes collaboration from the private sector towards the improvement of primary health care infrastructures and provision of an acceptable level of health-care
services for all, thereby reducing the gross inequality in the health status of her citizens,” he said.

 

Dr. Ogunsola disclosed that the facility would benefit from the disbursement of
monthly running costs as approved by His Excellency Prince Dapo Abiodun for all health facilities in the 236 wards of Ogun State”.

 

On his part, The Chairman, Royal Initiative for the Development of Sagamu Community (RIDSCO), Olootu Omoba Oyedele, said, “I am delighted at the commissioning of this project which will definitely positively impact on the health of our people. I sincerely appreciate Nestlé for a project well executed and for her continued investment in Sagamu.”

Oleksandr Usyk Defeats Tyson Fury Again, Solidifies Legacy Among Boxing Greats

Oleksandr Usyk Defeats Tyson Fury Again, Solidifies Legacy Among Boxing Greats

Ukrainian boxing sensation Oleksandr Usyk retained his heavyweight championship titles and cemented his place in boxing history with a unanimous decision victory over Britain’s Tyson Fury in their rematch on Saturday night.

The judges scored the bout 116-112 in Usyk’s favor across the board, marking his second consecutive win over Fury. This victory extended Usyk’s flawless professional record to 23-0, with 14 knockouts, adding another chapter to a career already highlighted by Olympic gold and an undisputed cruiserweight championship.

A Masterclass Performance

Usyk, 37, showcased his signature precision and relentless pace, repeatedly catching Fury with clean left hooks and dominating the latter stages of the fight. Fury, at 6ft 9in (206cm) and weighing a career-high 281 pounds, attempted to impose his physicality but was unable to break Usyk’s composure.

The fight, held in Saudi Arabia, saw Usyk wearing traditional Cossack attire during his entrance, while Fury entered the arena dressed in a festive Santa-inspired robe to Mariah Carey’s “All I Want For Christmas Is You.”

The early rounds were competitive, with Fury landing powerful jabs and body shots. However, Usyk’s endurance and tactical brilliance began to shine in the middle rounds. The Ukrainian landed sharp combinations and dictated the tempo, including a stunning uppercut in the final round that left little doubt about the outcome.

“I thought I’ve won both fights,” Fury said post-match, sporting a bruised right eye. “But I’ll always believe until the day I die that I won that fight.”

A Legacy Sealed

Usyk’s victory solidified his standing as one of the greatest heavyweights in history. Already the first undisputed heavyweight of the four-belt era, Usyk joins the ranks of legends like Muhammad Ali, Joe Louis, and Mike Tyson.

The bout, reported to have a prize purse of $190 million, also underscored Saudi Arabia’s growing influence in global sports. Usyk, who served briefly as a soldier during Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, celebrated his victory by hoisting a symbolic sabre belonging to Ukrainian nationalist hero Ivan Mazepa.

Fury’s Uncertain Future

The defeat leaves Fury’s future in doubt. Once unbeaten across 35 fights, Fury now stands at 34-2-1. His attempt to reclaim glory after a brief retirement in 2022 has been marred by back-to-back losses to Usyk.

Usyk, on the other hand, continues to add to his already remarkable resume, leaving fans and critics alike in awe of his technical skill, resilience, and determination. As the heavyweight division looks ahead, Usyk’s reign appears unshakable, and his place among boxing’s all-time greats is firmly secured.
