In a gesture of community support, students from the American University of Nigeria (AUN) donated essential medical supplies to Shagari Clinic and Bole Primary Health Care on Friday, November 7, 2025. The donation drive, organized by the AUN Students Outreach Project, aimed to bolster healthcare delivery in the community.
Abdullahi Isa, a senior majoring in Politics & International Studies and President of the Students Outreach Project, explained that the initiative is part of the club's ongoing efforts to strengthen community engagement. "This outreach is one of several initiatives undertaken this semester, and we decided to visit a local clinic to provide essential items for free distribution to the public," he said.
Veronica M. Offiong, a Junior majoring in Law and Acting Vice President of the Students Outreach Project, expressed personal fulfillment with the gesture. "Giving is a lifestyle. I love to help people in need, and seeing the direct impact of our contributions today has been incredibly fulfilling."
Officials from both health facilities expressed gratitude for the donation. Sulieman Kawu, Officer in Charge of Bole 2 Primary Health Care, thanked the students, saying, "Thank you for having us in your heart to bless us with such huge equipment." Similarly, Pharmacy Technician Maryam Yahaya of Shagari Clinic noted, "This will go a long way and it will be of great help to the clinic."
The donation, which includes syringes, gloves, cotton wool, antiseptic spirits, bandages, paracetamol, and other basic medical materials, underscores AUN students' commitment to making a positive impact in the local community.
