'We fit see future shege' - Reactions as Tinubu approves 5 million eyeglasses for Nigerians

President Bola Tinubu on Friday, September 1, approved more than 5 million pairs of eyeglasses to Nigerians with sight impairments.

This comes following a partnership between the Federal Ministry of Health’s National Eye Health Programme and the Peek Vision Foundation.

Sharing his experience about his first intervention in eye health, Tinubu said;
“My first experience was with my mother of blessed memory. She was ill & could not recognise me. When I intervened, she was treated & given a pair of glasses.

The next question she asked me was: ‘I have you & you are able to do this for me. What about those other women & their children who may not have somebody like you to intervene for them?’

“So, I made a promise to her that I would pursue the mass provision of eye care vigorously & that I would provide free eye screenings & surgeries to people.”

Reacting to the news, some Nigerians took to social media to share their thoughts.
