He said that the intervention, which was meant for all classes of people, targeted at least 1,000 persons. A traditional ruler in the community, Chief Salasi Ali, while appreciating the NGO for the gesture said, “We thank God for TAF. We appreciate this gesture for the community. "We thank the DG of TAF, Dr Paul Adiwu, because so far, he is only person doing such for the community. "A lot of persons needed serious medical attention. "They came with this medical outreach last year and the people have been testifying about how effective their treatment and drugs have been. "We are grateful to TAF for the effort to see people get well and have healthier living. "It has saved us a lot of money.” Salasi said. Similarly, another traditional ruler in the community, Chief Noah Danjuma, stated, “We are happy for bringing it to our community. "It is of great help to us.
