An undergraduate of Federal University of Technology, Akure (FUTA), Mojeed Adegoke, is in dire need of N12.5 million for a kidney transplant and other chronic ailments.
It was gathered that the 23-year-old student was
an app builder, working for Google. His dream was to be
one of the best tech builders in Nigeria and Africa until
that dream was cut short three years ago when sickness suddenly struck and disoriented him.
He was said to have been diagnosed with chronic kidney disease in 2021 after he was subjected to severe
headaches. This, however, made him put a hold on his
final year project at the Federal University of Technology, Akure.
According to ABUAD Multi-System Hospital in Ekiti
State, Adegoke had been to their facility on 5th August
2021 with complaints of recurrent headaches and reduction in urine output of eight months duration.
Examination at presentation, urine and blood tests
and ultrasound scan results
showed features suggestive of chronic kidney disease
possibly secondary to Chronic Glomerulonephritis.
He was discharged to a haemodialysis clinic after
sustained clinical improvement to continue thriceweekly dialysis on an outpatient basis on current
medications.
On the projected cost of dialysis for six months, Adegoke would be expected to continue three times weekly
hemodialysis among others.
Speaking to our correspondent on his sick bed,
Adegoke pleaded with Nigerians to come to his aid.
“This sickness has not only snatched my ambition in
life,” he lamented profusely.
“It has rendered me vulnerable and depressed. I
need all of your support to
live again. I need this financial assistance to be useful
to myself, my family, community, and the nation, ” he
said.
