…free medical outreach, others for grabs
Memories of Sapele Development Foundation (MOSDF), an association of distinguished men and women who schooled and grew up in Sapele (Safacity) in the last sixty odd years is set for a great reunion come 28th & 29th September 2024.
For the almost 500 members of the group, Sapele bears a pleasant and exciting memory for them, a town that knew no ethnic or religious boundaries, in which almost everybody knew everybody, and which gave them a springboard into life. There is no better way to honour their memories of Sapele than to give back to that town.
These ideas were contained in a release by Secretary of MOSDF, Hon Raymos Bolowei Guanah( a former commissioner in Delta State). Hon Guanah said that reunion activities will include a public lecture, a free medical outreach programme for some persons in the ancient town, giving back to General Hospital Sapele, renovation of a courtroom, an interschool debate final, a roundtable on business & investment opportunities in Sapele, and a guided tour of Sapele town.
The free medical outreach is led by US-based and Sapele-brought-up Olorogun Victor Jakpor, his American wife, and Sapele-raised UK-based Dr. Emmanuel Towu, among others. The medical outreach programme is scheduled for the last week of September, preceding the reunion.
Members of the LOC in Sapele – Barr. Gabriel Eyide (Chairman), Mr. Hartley Eghujovbo, Barr. William Etubiebi, Mrs. Onajite Diden, Mr. Thompson Uwagboe have been working round the clock to ensure a hitch-free reunion.
