Marcel Ofomata Foundation to Host Free 2-Day Medical Outreach in Anambra to Mark 10th Anniversary

As part of its 10th Anniversary celebrations, the Marcel Ofomata Foundation is set to host a two-day Free Medical Outreach this August, reaching residents in the communities of Isuofia, Nanka, and Igboukwu in Anambra State. This initiative reflects the Foundation’s enduring commitment to improving community health, advancing well-being, and ensuring access to essential medical care for underserved populations.

Inspired by the tremendous success of its 17th Free Medical Mission, the outreach will provide residents with comprehensive health services at no cost. Participants will receive free medical consultations and diagnostic services. The outreach will also offer treatment for common conditions and carry out minor surgical procedures where necessary. In addition, there will be eye screenings, with free prescription glasses given to those in need. Laboratory testing will be available, and the Foundation will also conduct health education sessions focused on preventive care and wellness practices.

The two-day event is scheduled to take place on August 13 and 14, 2025, beginning each day at 9:00 AM. On the first day, activities will be held at the Ozalla Primary Health Center in Isuofia. On the second day, the outreach will be conducted simultaneously at two venues: the Palace of the Igwe in Nanka and Landmark Hotel, Umudebe, Igboukwu.

Speaking ahead of the outreach, Abayomi Disu, Programs Director of the Marcel Ofomata Foundation, remarked, “This 2-day outreach is not only a response to urgent community health needs — it is also a celebration of 10 years of impact and service. Our goal is simple: to reach the unreached and bring healing where it’s needed most.”

The outreach is open to all residents of Isuofia, Nanka, Igboukwu, and surrounding towns. Everyone is encouraged to attend and take full advantage of this opportunity to receive free, quality healthcare from trusted professionals.

”This outreach stands as a shining example of what 10 years of service and dedication to humanity can achieve.” He further said.

For more information or to explore partnership opportunities, interested parties can contact the Marcel Ofomata Foundation via phone at (+234) 814 633 5302, by email at info@marcelofomatafoundation.org, or through the official website: www.marcelofomatafoundation.org.

The Foundation also maintains offices across Nigeria. In Abuja, it is located at Ojimadu Nwaeze House, behind Chida International Hotel, Utako. In Anambra State, the office is at Dr. Amaechi Ofomata Crescent, Ozalla–Isuofia Road, from Ekwulobia Junction, Aguata LGA. The Akwa Ibom State office is at No. 2 Amaecom Close, Off William Street, Aka Road – Uyo.

Headline Inflation Accelerates in April; Rises to 22-month High

The MPC concluded its third seating for the year with all policy rates left unchanged save the Cash Reserve Requirement (CRR) which was harmonized to 31.0%. This was in contrast to the previous 20.0% on private sector deposit and 75.0% public sector deposit (35.0% effective rate as at February 2015). We expect the equities market to react positively to this, given its implied impact on interest income of banking tickers going forward.

U.S. Assures Nigerians on Transparent, Open Visa Process

U.S. consular officials have assured Nigerian visa applicants that the visa application process is open and transparent. As a result, the majority of Nigerian visa applicants are approved. Country Consular Coordinator, William Laidlaw and Abuja Consular Chief, Stacie Hankins offered insights into the U.S. visa process to journalists from Channels Television, News Agency of Nigeria, Radio Nigeria, and Punch newspaper, who received a tour of U.S. Embassy Abuja’s consular operations. The tour gave the journalists an opportunity to observe the visa process and speak with applicants about their experiences after their visa interviews.
