The fun walk aimed at eradicating the prevalence of sickle cell in the State through awareness and sensitisation and the need to abolish discrimination and stigmatisation towards people with sickle cell anemia.

Hon. Owolabi while Speaking after the walk said he felt the pains of people living with SCD and other health conditions in the State who face unimaginable obstacles trying to survive.

His words: "I believe the Kwara State Government and the leadership of the Kwara State House of Assembly will always give all the necessary support to ensure people with SCD and other related health conditions living in Kwara State are treated with no iota of stigmatization and negligence."
