“I decided to offer free medical services because everybody knows that there can be no progress without health, which is the foundation of wealth.
Several ailments including hypertension, diabetes, malaria, arthritis, pneumonia and ulcer will be diagnosed and treated.
There will also be free eye testing, free prescription glasses, free drugs and mass de-worming of children, among others,” he said.
Bright urged residents to take advantage of the outreach and come out en masse to access the free medical treatment.
He said he is also planning to give out sewing machines to some widows and motorcycles to youths, to help earn income and take care of themselves and their family.
“In 2020 I helped some widows to pay their children’s school fees, but now I want to make sure they can continue doing so themselves by providing them with a means of livelihood” he said.
He called on well meaning Nigerians, groups, individuals and corporate organisations, who have the same mindset of taking people off the streets, to partner with him in helping the poor because government alone cannot do it.
