It commissioned three fully rehabilitated wards with 102 beds at the National Orthopaedic Hospital, Lagos, on April 29. The Foundation also said it delivered humanitarian aid to flood victims in Mokwa, Niger State, and trained 72,657 NYSC members in basic financial literacy during the month under review.
