The Sector Commander, Jonathan Owoade appreciated the association for the opportunity to conduct the health checkup for it’s members.

The Chairman of RTEAN in the state, Alhaji Olayinka Onikijipa, advised all members of the association and motorists to ensure they go for routine medical checks.

Onikijipa said most people who collapse or slump have unknown illnesses that they are not aware of and the resultant effect is when they collapse or slump.

“We are very grateful to God for this privilege and we also thank our chairman because he is always looking out for our progress.”

“We have never experienced this kind of initiative and we are very grateful indeed.”

“We are also grateful for the tests, especially, BP, eye test and urine test. I thank God because I was told I am very fine, there is no negative health challenge that I have.”

“We pray that the association will move forward, the state will move forward and the nation at large.”, Mr. Williams said.
