One hundred high school students drawn from 20 schools located in Nnewi South Local Government Area of Anambra state were in May 2026 trained on how to administer first aid to persons experiencing cardio-pulmonary crises and other common medical emergencies.

The training organised and sponsored by a non-profit organisation, JDM Global Foundation, was meant to expose the participants to the techniques of resuscitating people facing heart and lung-related medical crises.

Welcoming the participants to Ukpor, the venue of the training and headquarters of Nnewi South Local Government Area, the president and founder of the Foundation, Lolo Jennifer Madubuko who was represented by the Secretary of the Foundation’s Board of Trustees, the Venerable Okey Ifionu, said the training was part of her organisation’s “commitment to saving life, creating awareness, empowering young people and building a healthier and safer community.”
