Eko Centennial Lions Club has partnered Lagos State Blood Transfusion Service (LSTS) to create awareness on voluntary blood donation.
The Fifth president of the club, Lukman Olabiyi, announced the partnership after his presentation as president.
He decried the poor awareness on voluntary blood donation in Lagos and Nigeria.
Olabiyi said increasing the blood bank by voluntary donors would help.
He noted that the club is all humanitarian and his tenure would serve humanity in providing relief and succour to the less privileged.
“At Lions Club, we are intensifying campaign on voluntary blood donation… We are forging partnership with stakeholders, particularly Lagos blood donor agency, because we know donating blood is useful and can save lives.
There are so many in hospital who might be in need of blood and if it is not available, we might end up losing lives.”
He called on well meaning individuals and organisations to support the club.
Aare Onakakanfo of Yoruba land, Iba Gani Adams, who was father of the day, said Nigerians should be humane in delivering service to society.
