Nigeria’s largest container terminal, APM Terminals Apapa, has reaffirmed its commitment to community development with the donation of critical medical equipment to the Ojora Olugbode Primary Health Centre in Apapa Iganmu, Lagos State.

The public healthcare facility, which serves residents across the Apapa-Iganmu Local Council Development Area, received an autoclave, oxygen concentrator, refrigerator and haematocrit analysers.  Speaking at the presentation ceremony, Chief Executive Officer of APM Terminals Nigeria, Frederik Klinke, said the initiative reflects the company’s long-standing responsibility to support the wellbeing of its host communities.

“At APM Terminals, we believe that thriving communities are essential to sustainable business. This donation is part of our commitment to strengthening healthcare delivery where we operate,” he said. “It is not enough to provide equipment; we are equally committed to following up on how these facilities are utilised to ensure they truly raise the standard of healthcare in this community.”

Medical Adviser to APM Terminals Nigeria, Dr Layi Ogunjobi, expressed pride in the company’s sustained investment in the health centre.

“We have supported Ojora Olugbode Primary Health Centre with infrastructural renovations to make it a befitting place for people to receive quality medical care,” he said. “The laboratory diagnostic equipment we have donated will ensure that pregnant women, children and community members receive efficient and reliable services in an environment where quality assurance can be guaranteed.”

Chief Financial Officer of APM Terminals Nigeria and Acting Managing Director, APM Tedrminals Apapa, Courage Obadagbonyi, described the relationship between the terminal and the local council as a lasting partnership.

“This is a symbiotic relationship that works for both parties. We are here for the long term and will continue to support the community. That is what we do and what we are known for,” he said.

Chairman of the Apapa Iganmu Local Council Development Area, Honourable Jimoh Olawale, commended APM Terminals Apapa for its consistent support.

 He noted that the health centre is a vital part of the local government area where the terminal operates.
