Chief and Dr Lolo Emeka Agbo Foundation’s yearly medical outreach took another dimension in December 2025 with an added care to the aged. The foundation beyond the usual medical outreach provided clothings, food items, foot-wears, coral beads for elders of five communities in Isi Uzo Local Governments.
Similarly all the multitudes who attended the medical out were fed and also given at least 10 kilogrammes of bags of rice each to help celebrate the new year. Participants at the medical programme which lasted for two days, (29th to 30th) December 30th 2025 number over 500.
Medical personnel which included doctors, nurses and laboratory scientists were over sixty. The doctors were drawn from various branches of medicine including surgeons, opticians, dentists, pharmacists and otologists.
Drugs and glasses were freely distributed to patients and many whose cases could not be handled immediately were referred to partnership hospitals. Minor operations were carried out by the surgeons instantly.
One of the opticians, Dr Isaac Mokwa who disclosed that he had been participating in the outreach for over five years described the exercise as phenomenon and called for institutional supports to Chief and Dr Lolo Emeka Agbo Foundation because of the surging crowd that are handled every year.
Chief and Dr Chioma Agbo, the proprietors of the foundation who fly in every year from the United States of America to carry out the outreach for over a decade now were full of joy that they were providing succor for the less privileged and the aged in their locality.
They were resolute and determined to continue to shoulder the responsibility as longs as the Almighty blesses them with the resources to carry out the programme describing it as divine call to reach out to the indigents.
The programme was rounded up on the 30th December 2025 with usual all night feast that continues till December, 31st morning accommodating people of diverse grades and standings.

The Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) has commenced a city-wide desilting of drainage channels following heavy torrential rainfalls that triggered flash floods across parts of the nation’s capital.
Inspecting the ongoing clearance operations along the Airport Expressway on Thursday, Mr Richard Dauda, acting Executive Secretary of the Federal Capital Development Authority (FCDA), said the exercise was directed by the FCT Minister, Mr Nyesom Wike.
The directive followed a flash flood that flooded the Airport Expressway on Tuesday.
According to Dauda, the effort is to mitigate flood risks during the peak of the rainy season.
Dauda noted that while recent downpours align with earlier meteorological warnings and climate change trends, the Abuja Master Plan inherently recognises certain areas, including the Airport Expressway axis as flood plains.
He assured residents that while resilient infrastructure was originally built to handle high water volumes, human activities have severely compromised its efficiency.
“Some of these drainage facilities over time have been silted. Part of the cause is residents dumping refuse into drainage channels.
“When rain falls, it washes down polythene bags, waste, and even large objects that block the outlets,” he said.
Dauda highlighted two major human factors aggravating the flash floods: illegal development and widespread infrastructure vandalism.
Exposing a major choke point along the expressway, Dauda pointed to a triple-cell box culvert meant to discharge a powerful stream flowing from the Galadima Roundabout.
He explained that a private developer had illegally constricted the waterway further downstream by constructing retaining walls to expand a personal plot.
“What that causes is that the volume of water that ought to pass no longer passes, causing detention, backflow, and eventual flooding.
“To restore adequate discharge capacity, we must remove the structures built by this developer,” he said.
Dauda also decried the theft of metal gully inlet covers by vandals, which allows large debris to flow directly into underground drains instead of being sieved at the surface.
“When vandals steal these covers, it’s like stealing from yourself as a taxpayer,” he remarked.
To permanently curb the theft, he revealed that the FCDA is exploring replacement materials made from non-recyclable compounds rather than steel or cast iron.
The FCDA boss confirmed that workers were already desilting trapezoidal drains, U-channels, and culvert outlets along the Airport Expressway, with plans to reconstruct damaged points where necessary.
Dauda urged Abuja residents to stop dumping refuse into waterways, warning that government infrastructure can only protect the city if public cooperation is guaranteed.
The Federal Capital Territory Administration, FCTA has began disilting of accumulated silt, sand and other objects blocking drains are being removed.
Men from FCTA were captured on camera as they clear blockades caused by flood.
