The KB Klub has held its 55th annual Philanthropic Day on October 12, 2024, at Marda Barracks, Yaba, Lagos, reinforcing its commitment to philanthropy and social empowerment.

Themed “Even Heroes Need Savings,” the annual event focused on prostate cancer screening, mental health awareness and counseling for military personnel and their families, addressing critical health issues that are often overlooked within the armed forces.

Founded in 1969 at the College of Medicine, University of Lagos, the KB Klub has built a legacy of philanthropic service and social empowerment.


This year’s event aimed to reduce male mortality by promoting the early detection of prostate cancer and providing much-needed mental health support.

The Klub believes that even those who serve as heroes deserve access to preventive healthcare and mental well-being resources.

Dr. Ajayi, a Senior Registrar at the Federal Neuro-Psychiatric Hospital, Yaba, facilitated a session on PTSD and how military personnel can manage the condition effectively.

Miss Aisha Adelore from MANI offered practical tips on managing anxiety and maintaining emotional well-being.

Mr. Madehin Mustapha, President of the KB Klub, expressed gratitude to all partners, speakers, and volunteers for their contributions.

He reiterated the Klub’s commitment to empowering communities and improving lives through continuous service.

The event attracted over 100 men and women, including the families of the soldiers, with military personnel expressing appreciation for the health screenings and mental health sessions.

Many attendees noted that they felt more empowered to prioritize their health and committed to regular check-ups going forward.
