To promote the growth and sustainability of Nigerian businesses, Hydrogen Payment Services Company Limited teamed up with Ikeja Local Government Area and the Office of the Medical Officer of Health to organize the inspiring “Healthy Heart, Healthy Business” outreach on Wednesday, May 28, 2025, at the Ikeja Local Government Secretariat, reports ITREALMS.The initiative successfully engaged a wide range of business owners through a combination of in-person participation and extensive digital awareness campaigns.
Attendees received extensive complimentary medical screenings, including blood pressure checks, ECGs, malaria and typhoid tests, urinalysis, PCV checks, and blood sugar monitoring, emphasizing the vital link between health and business sustainability.
Kemi Okusanya, CEO of Hydrogen, highlighted the company's dedication to business growth: "Hydrogen is deeply invested in Nigerian business success. As a payment solutions provider, we know healthy entrepreneurs build robust, resilient enterprises. This outreach reflects our commitment to supporting them beyond payments."
