The Surulere Local Government Area of Lagos has lauded the National Association of Seadogs (NAS), popularly known as Pyrates Confraternity, Zanas Deck, for organising a medical outreach that benefited more than 120 residents.
The outreach, themed “Ophthalmological and Medical Outreach,” was held at Paddington Mini Stadium, Barrack Bus Stop, in partnership with BioFem Pharmaceutical Company.
The programme offered free eye examinations, free eye glasses, medical consultations, and distribution of prescribed medications to residents.
Speaking at the event, the Vice Chairman of Surulere LG, Prince Muiz Dosumu, commended the association and its pharmaceutical partner for bringing quality healthcare services closer to the grassroots.
Dosumu noted that collaborations between non-governmental organisations and private companies play a vital role in complementing government efforts to strengthen primary healthcare delivery.

According to him, the council remains committed to supporting initiatives that enhance the wellbeing of residents, particularly the elderly and other vulnerable groups who may lack easy access to medical care.
President of NAS Zanas Deck, Babatunde Oluwafemi Adeolu, reiterated the association’s commitment to humanitarian service, describing the outreach as part of its broader public health interventions.
Adeolu called for increased collaboration among stakeholders and government agencies to improve the living standards of less privileged members of society.
He also clarified that the Pyrates Confraternity is not involved in cultism or illegal activities but is focused on contributing meaningfully to societal development.
Beneficiaries expressed appreciation to the organisers, describing the initiative as timely and impactful, and urged that the programme be sustained and expanded to reach more residents across the local government area.
