His words:

“Currently we are in Nigeria, Enugu specifically for medical outreach and we had outreach for indigent population in Trans-Ekulu two days ago and today we are in Enugu Sport Club.

“We are given this free medical service in collaboration with my colleagues and friends working at University Nigeria Teaching Hospital (UNTH) Enugu.

” We decided to take the exercise to Enugu Sport Club because I have a lot of friends that needed medication attention but they are not aware.

“The current insecurity in the South East is one of our major challenges in carrying out the exercise in the state.

Sir Victor Atuonwu the chairman Enugu Sports Club who took part in the screening said that the exercise is worthwhile and needed to be a regular exercise.

“Many people do not even know that they have health issues untill after the test and I am happy that the members got the opportunity to be tested and treated for free,”he said.

Atuonwu said that the club is sure of the drugs and encourage members to always take advantage of a exercise of such nature for their own good.

Dr Toby Agujobi a member of the sports club described the exercise as a welcome development and noted that many discoveries will take place from the activities.

Agujobi said that he never know that he has Maleria and had been moving around with it without knowing, if not for the exercise.

He encouraged the members to always go for medical test regularly for finding out hidden ailments and for early treatment.
