Rite Foods Limited has partnered with the Atti Theresa Foundation (ATF) to provide free medical services to residents of Ososa in Ogun State, as part of its commitment to sustainable community development and corporate responsibility.
The outreach, held on 28 March 2026, delivered essential healthcare services to more than 400 residents, reinforcing the company’s focus on driving social impact through its EYEC agenda, which prioritises education, youth empowerment, environmental stewardship and community development.
Residents benefited from a wide range of medical services, including general consultations, eye care with prescription glasses, dental treatment, physiotherapy and access to free medication. The programme also offered health education on hygiene, nutrition and disease prevention, aimed at improving long-term wellbeing.
The initiative targeted underserved groups such as women, children, the elderly and low-income households, many of whom would otherwise have limited access to healthcare services. In total, 401 people were treated, including 18 children, 136 men and 247 women. Several cases of hypertension, infections and vision-related conditions were identified early, enabling timely intervention.
Speaking on the initiative, Corporate Affairs and Sustainability Manager, Dennis Aideloje, emphasized the company’s strategic approach to impact “
“We are proudly Nigerian, and we truly care about our communities. Our EYEC sustainability agenda is built on creating real impact where it matters most. We believe that the real success of a business is directly linked to the difference it makes in society. This is what drives our efforts to deliver meaningful social impact, and this outreach today reflects that long-standing heritage. We are very pleased with the turnout and the positive difference we are making in our communities.”
The outreach was delivered in collaboration with healthcare professionals and community stakeholders, including the Atti Theresa Foundation, whose involvement helped expand access to quality care at no cost to beneficiaries.
Speaking on the engagement, the Founder of Atti Theresa Foundation (ATF), Aprezi Eniye Kelvin, commended Rite Foods Limited for its commitment to community wellbeing and its proactive approach to expanding access to healthcare. He also highlighted the importance of strategic collaborations in driving meaningful change “Sustainable impact happens when organizations align around a shared purpose. Rite Foods has demonstrated strong leadership with this initiative, and this outreach is a clear example of how partnerships can bring essential healthcare closer to communities, while also building awareness that lasts beyond the intervention.”
He further reiterated ATF’s mission of empowering communities through sustainable health initiatives, education, and advocacy aimed at improving quality of life.
One of the beneficiaries, Mrs Adeola Ogunleye, expressed her appreciation, “I’m truly grateful to Rite Foods for bringing this kind of healthcare to our community. I was able to see a doctor, check my eyes, and get medication all in one place without paying. This is something many of us cannot easily afford. Today has really made a difference for us.”
Community participation was also strengthened by the involvement of the Bigi Fans Club, whose mobilisation efforts supported turnout and coordination.
Beyond immediate healthcare delivery, the initiative helped strengthen trust and relationships between Rite Foods Limited and the Ososa community, reinforcing the company’s long-term commitment to sustainable impact.
