Dr. Shola Agboola gifts ₦430 million worth of hospital equipment to strengthen healthcare delivery in Enugu State.
Winnipeg, Manitoba — From his base in Winnipeg, Canada, Dr. Shola Agboola, CEO and founder of the SAGA Foundation, has once again extended his goodwill across borders, this time reaching the people of Enugu State, Nigeria.
At a recent event in Enugu, the SAGA Movement made a major impact by donating essential medical assets worth more than ₦430 million to the Enugu State Government and its health institutions. The items included hospital beds, theatre tables, mattresses, scanners, ultrasound machines, and a variety of consumables—equipment that will directly improve patient care and strengthen healthcare delivery in the state.
Speaking at the handover, Dr. Agboola emphasized that his mission is to ensure access to quality healthcare, particularly in communities where resources are scarce. He noted that while SAGA is headquartered in Winnipeg, the vision has always been global—creating a bridge of support from Canada to Africa and beyond.
The Enugu State Government, represented by Secretary to the State Government Prof. Chidiebere Onyia, received the donation with gratitude, praising Dr. Agboola for his generosity. Governor Peter Mbah’s administration highlighted that the support aligns with its current healthcare transformation program, which includes the construction of 260 new primary health centres, upgrades to secondary hospitals, and the near completion of a 300-bed specialist hospital.
The gesture from Winnipeg-based SAGA Foundation underscores the growing role of diaspora-led initiatives in shaping Africa’s development story. By sharing medical resources across continents, Dr. Agboola is not only giving back to his homeland but also positioning Winnipeg as a hub of global humanitarian outreach.
As the SAGA Movement continues to expand, this event reinforces a powerful message: philanthropy knows no borders, and the impact of one individual’s vision can ripple from Manitoba to millions of lives in Nigeria.
