“We are doing a lot of activities for Lagos residents all over the place at the moment. For instance, next Saturday, we have a very expanded medical outreach in Ikorodu,” she explained.

Oyefusi added, “We have free mental and eye care services: two in one. We will give free glasses and free drugs. We have a food bank going to the Oshodi-Isolo area next week.
