According to a statement issued by his Special Assistant on Media, Kehinde Akinyemi, the outreach will be held in Ikorodu and Alimosho local government areas between February 27 and March 4, 2026. The initiative is being organised by the Olusegun Obasanjo Foundation as part of activities commemorating the former president’s birthday.

Scope of the Outreach

The medical mission will offer a wide range of free healthcare services, including cardiovascular screening, blood pressure checks, heart health assessments, preventive medical counselling, general consultations, diagnosis and treatment, as well as the distribution of essential medications — all at no cost to beneficiaries.

The statement described the outreach as a “legacy-driven humanitarian initiative,” reflecting Obasanjo’s longstanding commitment to public service and national development.

Locations and Schedule

The exercise is scheduled to begin on Friday, February 27, 2026, at the Ijede LCDA Council Hall in Ikorodu, followed by services at Imota Mini Stadium on Saturday, February 28.

From Monday, March 2 to Wednesday, March 4, the medical team will move to Alade Stadium, Command Road, Agbado/Oke-Odo in Alimosho.

At these locations, beneficiaries will also receive specialised services such as free ear care and provision of hearing aids for qualified individuals, comprehensive eye screening with prescription glasses, and referrals — including sponsorship — for necessary eye surgeries.

A Birthday Marked by Service

Rather than a ceremonial celebration, the 89th birthday of the former president is being positioned as a public health intervention aimed at improving access to care in densely populated Lagos suburbs.

The initiative underscores a growing trend of philanthropic medical missions stepping in to bridge healthcare access gaps, particularly for low-income communities.
