“Our people who go to India as passengers, come back as cargo” – Frm. President Obasanjo

Nigeria’s Former President Olusegun Obasanjo on the 19^th of February, 2025 paid a visit to the ultra modern Loveworld Medical Center in Lagos, south west Nigeria.

The elder state-man was taken on a tour of the facility which houses Africa’s Nuclear medical center.

The former president was full of praise for the vision behind the setting of such a health intervention saying that it would go a long way to curb medical tourism in the country.

Rounding off his visit Obasanjo said he had visited hospitals around the world and he would be glad to subscribe to the services of the hospital and be the first amongst many to testify to its quality and expertise.

According to him “You don’t need to go to America, Britain or to India. 

Most especially our people who go to India as passengers, come back as cargo, here if you come here as a sick person you will go back as a healthy person”.

The center is the first in Nigeria to administer and make available the TErbium-161 cancer treatment. A treatment not yet available in the USA
