The Rivers State Government has applauded the O.B. Lulu-Briggs Foundation for its continued humanitarian interventions, especially its commitment to delivering free medical care to the less privileged within and outside the state.
Governor Siminalayi Fubara, represented by his deputy, Professor Ngozi Odu, gave the commendation on Thursday during the inauguration of the Foundation’s 44th Free Medical Mission at Aluu in Ikwerre Local Government Area. The exercise was organised in partnership with the Dr. Henry Wordu Foundation.
Fubara assured that his administration would work closely with the Foundation to expand access to affordable healthcare, stressing that good health is central to productivity, personal aspirations, and societal development.
Chairman of the Foundation, Dr. Seinye O.B. Lulu-Briggs, reaffirmed the organisation’s resolve to close the healthcare gap for vulnerable communities. According to her, “sickness does not discriminate, and too often, the difference between life and death in our communities is the cost of care.”
Since its establishment in 2005, the O.B. Lulu-Briggs Foundation has reached over 190,000 beneficiaries with free medical services across Rivers, Bayelsa, Cross River, and Akwa Ibom States.
