Borno State Governor, Babagana Umara Zulum, has unveiled a groundbreaking initiative to provide free eye surgeries for 10,000 residents suffering from various visual impairments, including cataracts. The program, initially designed to benefit 1,000 individuals, was significantly expanded after an overwhelming response from residents in dire need of medical attention.

Speaking about the initiative, Governor Zulum revealed that many residents had been unable to access eye care for over two years due to the prohibitive cost of surgeries. “We launched this program to provide medical attention for over 1,000 people, focusing on cataract surgeries. However, the overwhelming turnout demonstrated the extent of the need, prompting us to increase the beneficiaries to 10,000,” he said.

The free eye surgery initiative is part of an eye camp organized by the Borno State government in collaboration with Senator Ali Ndume, who represents Borno South in the National Assembly. The program aims to cover the entire state, with 4,000 surgeries planned for Maiduguri, 3,000 for Southern Borno, and another 3,000 for Northern Borno.

To further support patients, Governor Zulum approved an additional N50,000 for each individual to assist with post-operative care. This financial aid is expected to ensure a smooth recovery process and alleviate the economic burden on beneficiaries.

The governor expressed profound gratitude to Senator Ndume and other stakeholders for their role in making the initiative a reality. “On behalf of the government and people of Borno State, I extend my heartfelt appreciation to everyone who has contributed to this program. Together, we are transforming lives and restoring hope to communities across the state,” Zulum said.

This ambitious program is expected to bring relief to thousands of residents suffering from preventable or treatable visual impairments, dramatically improving their quality of life. The initiative is not just a medical intervention; it symbolizes a renewed commitment to addressing critical healthcare needs and uplifting vulnerable communities in Borno State.
