The Governor of Ondo State, Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Akeredolu has stressed the importance of providing selfless service towards impacting lives rather than wanting to earn from services rendered for the good of the people of a state.

Akeredolu said it is high time Nigerians take the issue of voluntarism seriously towards getting things done for the good of the people in the country.


The Governor also used the opportunity to commend the leader of the team; Dr. Emeka Anyanwu for coming up with the initiative having done same last year saying it is always good to give back to one’s society as everyone has a strong tie to his or her roots.


The Chief Host, Arabinrin Betty Anyanwu- Akeredolu in her address said the team was in the country last year not just to donate medical equipment and provide surgical services but have been of immense support towards all her life impacting programmes.
Mrs. Akeredolu while thanking the team for the initiative further affirmed that this year’s event is historic as the gesture will be extended to the people of Imo State.
