The Chairman of the Epe Local Government Area, Lagos State, Surah Animashaun, has begun the distribution of 200 first aid boxes to public primary schools in the LGA.

The chairman, who inaugurated the distribution on Thursday in Epe, said the development was for the public school students to have easy access to first aid medical treatment, when there is an injury, before being taken to the hospital for proper treatment.

“Students are prone to physical contact during play, as part of their extracurricular activities.

“Therefore, first aid is essential for palliative treatment before being taken to the hospital for proper medical attention,” she said.

The chairman emphasised the importance of safety and health in learning environments, stating that the council was committed to prioritising the welfare of school children.
