Yesterday, I had the honour of leading the Wellbeing Foundation Africa and Reckitt Project Oscar Delegation on a courtesy visit to His Royal Majesty, Oba Abdulwasiu Omogbolahan Lawal, Abisogun II, the Oniru of Iru Land. This audience with His Royal Majesty, Oba Abdulwasiu Omogbolahan Lawal, Abisogun II, marked the introduction of Project Oscar – Light For Life, a transformative programme focused on Neonatal Jaundice Screening, Treatment, and Kernicterus Prevention, aimed at improving neonatal health outcomes across public and private healthcare facilities in Lagos State.

We were honoured to engage in a dialogue rooted in the enduring traditions of the Iru Kingdom, where the principles of Alaafia, health, peace, and wellbeing, are central to the lives of our people. Under the esteemed guidance of His Royal Majesty, we explored how the timeless values of culture and royal stewardship intersect with healthcare initiatives to improve the quality of life for our youngest and most vulnerable citizens.

I extend my deepest gratitude to His Royal Majesty for his gracious hospitality and his continued support for local programming and partnerships which enhance community wellbeing through evidence-based approaches for impactful results.
