The Embassy of Japan has teamed up with a nongovernmental organisation based in Lagos, Street To School Initiative, in the provision of a primary healthcare centre for residents of Surulere Community, Agbado/Oke-Odo Local Council Development Area.
It may be recalled that The PUNCH had reported the lack of primary healthcare centres, good roads and public primary schools in the fast-growing communities.

Based on The PUNCH reports, the Lagos State Government has since constructed a road linking the communities to Oju-Ore, Ota, in Ogun State, under the Akinwunmi Ambode administration; while the Japanese Embassy had donated a healthcare centre to Ikola-Ilumo in 2018.

Wednesday’s inauguration of another healthcare centre in the LCDA is the embassy’s second in the communities a year apart.
The health centre was inaugurated on Wednesday by the Charge d’Affaires at the embassy of Japan, Mr. Takayuki Shinozowa, who flew in from Honolulu; assisted by other embassy officials.

Also, in attendance was founder, Street To School Initiative, Mrs. Oluwatosin Olowoyeye-Taiwo.

Others were: the representative of chairman, Lagos State Primary Healthcare Board, Dr. Eniola Erinosho; Chairman of Agbado/Oke-Odo LCDA, Dr. Arogundade Augustine; Baale of Oke Abiye Community, Nojeem Ajolojuota, among others.
