As part of activities marking his first 100 days on the throne, the Olu of Oko Baba Agba Kingdom in Oworonshoki, Kosofe Local Government Area of Lagos State, Oba Kabiru Adesegun Bashiru, has embarked on a series of community development initiatives focusing on education, healthcare and environmental sanitation.
The initiatives included a community-wide environmental sanitation exercise held on Saturday, November 7, 2026, followed by the distribution of free exercise books to pupils in five primary schools and a free medical outreach on Monday, November 9, 2026.
During the sanitation exercise, residents of Oko Baba Agba and its environs came together to clean their surroundings and dispose of waste responsibly. The exercise was aimed at promoting environmental cleanliness, public health awareness and collective responsibility among members of the community.
On Monday, November 9, the monarch demonstrated his commitment to educational development by providing free exercise books to pupils in five primary schools: Ayeroju Nursery and Primary School, Muslim Mission Primary School, Local Government Nursery and Primary School, Oworonshoki Primary School and Mosafejo Nursery and Primary School.
The initiative was designed to encourage learning, support pupils’ academic development and reduce the financial burden on parents and guardians by providing essential educational materials.
In the area of healthcare, the palace also partnered with the Office of the First Lady of Lagos State, in collaboration with Her Excellency, Dr. Claudiana Ibijoke Sanwo-Olu, to organise a free tuberculosis screening and general medical check-up for residents.
The outreach, held at the monarch’s residence, provided residents with access to tuberculosis screening and testing, general medical examinations, free medical consultations, treatment where necessary and health education.
A broader account of the medical intervention also highlighted that more than 200 adults and children within Oko Baba Agba and its environs benefited from healthcare services, including pulse checks, blood tests, medication distribution, consultations with medical professionals and general health advice.
The healthcare intervention provided residents, particularly those with limited access to medical facilities, an opportunity to receive medical attention and professional guidance.
The three initiatives form part of activities marking Oba Bashiru’s first 100 days on the throne and reflect an approach to traditional leadership that places emphasis on service, community welfare and inclusive development.
As the Olu of Oko Baba Agba Kingdom marks his first 100 days, the focus on education, healthcare and environmental sanitation signals a commitment to improving the living conditions of residents and promoting a cleaner, healthier and more united community.
