In a display of corporate social responsibility, Purch Gadgets marked Nigeria’s 65th Independence Day with a free medical outreach and feeding initiative for residents of Medical Road and surrounding communities in Ikeja, Lagos State.
The event, which drew more than 500 residents, featured free medical check-ups, including blood sugar and blood pressure tests, alongside the provision of medication for patients.
Henry Nnadike, CEO of Purch Gadgets, said the initiative stemmed from the company’s passion to give back to the community since its establishment in 2015.
“We’ve discovered that people don’t prioritise their health, and many are too busy to visit hospitals for check-ups. Our goal is to make a positive impact on the lives of Nigerians, and today’s event is a testament to that commitment,” he said.

Many residents expressed gratitude for the outreach, with some diagnosed with hypertension and diabetes receiving free medication and counselling on managing their conditions. The initiative also raised awareness on the importance of regular health checks and preventive care.
In addition, Purch Gadgets provided meals for more than 500 less privileged members of the community. The feeding programme, aimed at supporting those in need, brought joy and relief to participants.
The company also used the occasion to launch its new cassette air conditioner, designed to consume low energy and address Nigeria’s energy challenges. Nnadike emphasised that Purch Gadgets’ mission is to integrate technology with sustainable energy efficiency.
Renowned entrepreneur Cletus Uzoezie Oragwa, founder of Zenco Group, unveiled the product and congratulated Purch Gadgets on its achievement, wishing the company greater success.
The event concluded with the distribution of food items to residents, reinforcing Purch Gadgets’ commitment to corporate social responsibility and its drive to make a tangible difference in Nigerian communities.
