In an unrelenting effort to further extend the coverage and deepen the penetration of the Power Oil health camp activities, Power Oil from the staple of Raffles oil LFTZ Enterprise has entered into a partnership with the Ministry of Women Affairs and Poverty Alleviation in Lagos and Ogun State.

‘‘Women deserve the best treatment and high level of respect in the society because of their multi-functional nature. They have to be in a healthy state in order to carry out their duties efficiently,’’ Akande said.

She also urged women to take advantage of the regular health check-up and medical consultation opportunity offered by Power oil health camp to remain healthy.

Commenting on the partnership, Amisha Chawla, Brand Manager, Power Oil who was also present at the programme said the role women in the home and the society at large cannot be over-emphasised.
