The initiative, organized in partnership with the Precious Sight Foundation, has provided hundreds of residents with essential ophthalmic services, including professional consultations, prescription and reading glasses, and medications—all at no cost.
Speaking with newsmen,Hon Jakande emphasized that the outreach aligns with his administration’s HEWA Agenda, which prioritises “Service to the People” as a foundation for “Prosperity for All.”

He said that the target audience for three days is over 1,500 persons as he promised to continually provide and promotes programs that would be of great beneficiary to the people of Odi-Olowo Ojuwoye.
“It will be recalled that few weeks ago,we had a medical outreach with EKO Atlantic from the United States of America where we had an extensive medical examination and treatment for residents,so this is a continuous program and the people would witness more”
“Our goal is simple: to bring healthcare closer to the people and make it accessible to everyone, regardless of their economic status. This outreach is part of a broader vision to improve quality of life in our communities,”
” This program is going to run for 3 days with medical doctors being on ground to attend to the patients and for those whose cases might be beyond what we targeted in terms of free medical care,we are re- partner with another agency where the patients might need surgical procedures and when such case escalated back to us,we would ensure that they get the required attention ” he said
Jakande used the occasion to thanked the people for their continued support to his administration , while noting that he would continue to ensure that all the electorates promises comes to reality, while wishing them a merry Christmas and a happy new year in advance.
According to him, the beneficiaries requiring surgery would be referred to the hospital”Good vision is essential for daily life, education, and work. Unfortunately, many people in our community struggle to afford the eye care they need,” said Hon Jakande “This programme is a step towards ensuring that everyone, regardless of their financial situation, can see clearly and live healthier lives.”
Speaking with some of the beneficiaries,Mrs Mopelola commended the Chairman for his large-heartedness,describing Hon Jakande as ‘a fantastic man’ who had been doing well for the people of Odi-Olowo Ojuwoye since his assumption into office”
Another beneficiary, Mr Oludare Okeleye also commended Jakande for having the heart of giving and taking care of people’s health.
“I don’t think we can have anybody who can match his record in terms of prioritising people’s welfare.It was because of him that I went to collect my permanent voter card (PVC),” he said.
A security man with Kings Bar,Mr Gbenga Christopher who also benefited from the eye test, commended the Chairman for his kind gesture.
He said: “I remember the programme he organised at the council secretariat recently,it was awesome, though I could not attend due to the nature of my job but thank God that he brought this to my domain.
He noted that the current economic reality had prevented many people from checking their health status, saying that the programme had helped some to know the state of their health.
