Arewa group partners LASG to boost grassroots healthcare

In a bid to strengthen community health awareness and expand philanthropic activities across Lagos State, the Northern People Political Group (NPPG) has sought support from the Lagos State Government to provide inclusive local healthcare initiatives. The NPPG Southwest Zone, led by national leader Hajiya Ramat Lawal, visited Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s office at Alausa, Ikeja, to present the group’s operational strategy and explore ways to collaborate with the state on grassroots development. The delegation included Lagos Zonal Chairman Alhaji Dahiru Musa and Secretary Alhaji Ahmed Tijani.

During the visit, Hajiya Ramat emphasised that the NPPG is a grassroots-focused organisation committed to building hope, unity, and progress in local communities. She highlighted the group’s free healthcare programmes, which include blood pressure and diabetes screening, vaccination awareness, maternal-child health education, and community outreach in underserved areas. “Our goal is to ensure that no citizen is left behind in accessing essential healthcare services,” Hajiya Ramat said. “Partnering with the government will amplify our impact and sustain these programmes over the long term.”

The Chief of Staff to the Governor, Tayo Akinmade Ayinde, commended the group for its proactive approach, noting that their efforts complement the state’s initiatives to improve healthcare accessibility and community engagement. “The dedication of Hajiya Ramat and the NPPG demonstrates leadership that aligns perfectly with the government’s grassroots mobilisation efforts,” he said.
