Dr Fasasi stated “we are pulling our expertise as specialist doctors together to offer free services to indigent people in the state; we believe that this is a way of giving back to the society; it is a way of ensuring that they can assess free medical service, both surgical and medical. The State government’s free medical programme, we believe is not enough, looking at the number of people in the community. That is why we decided to do this, too.”

Retired Archibishop of the Methodist Church Nigeria, The Most Reverend Ayo Ladigbolu, on behalf of Oyo Town, who was appreciative of the free medical and surgical service, said “this is about your determination to render service to our population, with all our expertise and through your members. We appreciate the gesture and pray that you are rewarded.”
