Strengthening eye health services
As part of activities to commemorate World Sight Day, the Federal Government recently restated its commitment to strengthening eye health services across the country by the end of 2027. The intervention will curb avoidable blindness and enhance access to optimal eye care. The Minister of State for Health and Social Welfare, Dr. Iziaq Salako, stated this during the marking of the 2026 World Sight Day, with the theme, “Love Your Eyes.” The national sub-theme, “Protect Your Vision, See Clearly, Live Fully” harps on the need to prioritise overall eye health for all citizens.
