AGS NEWS – Power Oil, a vegetable cooking oil brand, has partnered with the Kanu Heart Foundation (KHF) to support open-heart surgeries in Nigeria.

KHF founder, Kanu Nwankwo, recently announced the collaboration, which aims to save more lives through the foundation’s surgery program.

The campaign, titled ‘Together We Can Save A Heart,’ aligns with Power Oil’s vision to promote heart health.

Kanu noted the challenges in accessing healthcare, including a shortage of hospitals and high costs due to medical tourism and exchange rates.

This partnership with Power Oil is seen as a win-win, with Kanu encouraging consumers to buy Power Oil to indirectly support the foundation.

Kanu emphasized the need for more hospitals in Nigeria that conduct open-heart surgeries, as over 200 patients are currently on the KHF waiting list.

During the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), Kanu highlighted KHF’s achievements, including nearly 667 heart operations.

Temitope Ashiwaju, representing Power Oil’s parent company Tolaram Group, said the foundation’s integrity and impact motivated their support.

A portion of each Power Oil bottle sold will fund KHF’s efforts to provide care for heart patients.

Abiola Awe, Communication Adviser for the Non-Communicable Disease Alliance Nigeria, praised Power Oil’s initiatives to prevent heart diseases through lifestyle and dietary changes.
