The Nigerian Army Depot in Osogbo held a free medical outreach for host communities in Osun State, offering consultations, eye and dental services and general medical examinations as part of activities marking the Nigerian Army's anniversary celebrations. The programme was held at Light and Life School, Boredun, and organized under the Depot's Commandant, Brig.-Gen. Buhari Madaki, who was represented by his deputy, Col. Mathew Obi. Madaki said the outreach reflected the Army's broader commitment to serving humanity beyond its core security mandate, noting that the depot, now just over a year old, intends to rotate similar programmes across other host communities in subsequent editions. He explained that the Army Day observance also honors Nigerian soldiers who died during the First and Second World Wars, as well as officers who fell during the 1967-1970 Nigerian Civil War. Acting Commanding Officer of the Depot Osogbo Medical Centre, Maj. Jonathan Edimek, said the initiative was designed to strengthen civil-military relations and raise awareness of the Army's presence within local communities. He said medical personnel would treat common ailments affecting both the young and elderly, including malaria and skin conditions, with any cases requiring specialist attention referred to nearby hospitals, Federal Medical Centres or the Depot's own medical facility. The service was open not only to residents near the depot but to anyone across the state able to reach the venue. The Aragbiji of Iragbiji, Oba Abdur-Raaheed Olabomi, who served as guest of honour, commended the gesture, describing it as one of the Army's "kinetic" community programmes that demonstrate its role extends beyond conventional security duties. He urged residents to take full advantage of the opportunity for their own wellbeing.
