The President,\u00a0 Ogbakor Ikwerre Cultural Organization,\u00a0 USA\/Canada, Dr. Patrick Ugo Anyawoke, has appealled to the Chairman of Obio\/Akpor Local Government Council, Hon. Gift Worlu, to secure an office space\u00a0 to aid its community engagement.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u00a0Anyawoke made the request at the just-concluded Free Medical Service event organized by OIUSA\/Canada at Elenwo Memorial Hospital, Rumuobiakani, in Obio Akpor Local Government Area.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
He expressed gratitude to everyone who contributed to the success of the medical mission and acknowledged the generosity and support received.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Acording to him,\u00a0 the office space will serve as a hub for providing essential services to the Ikwerre people, including scholarship and employment opportunities.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u00a0\u201cI am the current President of Ogbakor Ikwerre USA\/Canada. We have actually conducted two medical missions so far. This is our third one.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
“The first one was in Ikwerre LGA, the second in Emohua LGA, and now we are in Obio\/Akpor LGA. Our next mission will be in Port Harcourt LGA. It\u2019s going to be a five-day medical mission, Monday through Friday”, he said.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
He hinted that so far more than 25 eye surgeries have been carried out by the Team and assured of more commitments.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cThere is this story of a young lady who had a surgery yesterday. Earlier, she was asked to pay ?500,000 at UPTH. She got that surgery done yesterday and she was jubilating.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
“It sent tears through my eyes to see someone excited and jubilating for getting a simple medical surgery”, he said.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
In Ikwerre Local Government Area, he noted,\u00a0 \u00a0close to 3000 or 4000 people have been treated of various degrees of ailments, same as in Emohua\u00a0 and Obio Akpor Local Government Areas.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cWe want, at the end of the day, that people will have success stories, success stories of this medical mission. I don\u2019t want us being the one telling the stories. I want people, people who actually felt the impact, to be the one telling the success stories so that the world can hear and then support what we are doing”, he said.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
He specifically thanked the Minority Leader of the House of Representatives, Hon. Kingsley Ogundu Chinda, for providing logistical support, including feeding, diesel for power supply, a 500-capacity tent among others.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
He also appreciated His Lordship, Rt. Rev. Innocent U. Ordu, the Bishop of the Diocese of Evo, and Hon. Gift Worlu for providing the facility.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The 5-day Medical\/Surgical Mission 2025 with the Theme: \u201cEhnioma bu Ekwnu\u201d (Health is Wealth), was held from Monday, October 13 to Friday, October 17, 2025.<\/div>\n
