Come to Ibusa, Pen Master Begs the Foundation

- Emeka Esogbue

The office of the President-General of the Onicha-Olona Development Union has sent a message of appreciation to Chief Michael Brian Onyekali Odiakosa, the Nwadialor of Idumuje-Unor and Osigie of Issele-Uku over his Onicha-Olona choice and successful implementation of his team's medical mission in the community, describing the mission as timely, cost-saving, lifesaving and a great relief to the people.

In a letter addressed to Chief Odiakosa, the Osigie of Issele-Uku Kingdom, titled "Special Appreciation: Medical Mission to Onicha-Olona 23rd to 24th March 2024, a copy, also made available to PEN MASTER, Patrick Ejidoh, the community's President-General said, "on behalf of the Onicha-Olona community, I wish to appreciate your kind gesture by extending your medical mission to our community for free health accessibility."

"In addition, the special case of the hydrocele patient you have fully taken up the bill for surgery in Asaba is of special mention and commendation."

"We are most grateful for your magnanimity and as Oliver Twist, will be ready for a repeat performance if the opportunity knocks in the nearest future."

Meanwhile, PEN MASTER has appealed to the Chief Michael Brian Odiakosa Foundation to carry out a similar medical mission in Ibusa, which boasts a population of people from different groups and backgrounds.

Chief Odiakosa who responded said Ibusa was in his plan though the largeness of the community would require larger funding.

He said, "Well, most definitely, we will visit the community because it's in our plan. However, the time is what I don't know."

"Ibusa is a large community that requires an adequate financial budget. All my pet projects have been self-funding and that's the beauty of what we do."

"Our Anioma communities like Ibusa, Ogwashi-Uku, Asaba, Agbor, and Obiaruku will require larger funding than we have previously had in other communities. Surely, the community falls within my Foundation's arrangement and we shall visit it when the time comes."

The Foundation has successfully carried out free medical outreach programs in parts of Anioma communities that include Idumuje-Unor, Idumuje-Ugboko, Akwukwu-Igbo, and now, Onicha-Olona.

In February, the Foundation commenced bulldozing activities in an attempt to grade the Ogbeakwu Quarters farm road in Idumuje-Unor, a selfless initiative that was greeted with commendation from different quarters of the community.

Chief Michael Odiakosa is a believer in the Anioma project.
