The wife of the Oloworo, Olori Bukola Saliu who oversaw the free eye screening exercise, in a chat with newsmen, stated that the programme was necessitated by the complaint of a member of the community suffering from glaucoma who had approached the Oloworo for urgent financial assistance to treat his eye disease.
She explained that the king on seeing the terrible state of the man's eyes wondered why it took him so long to seek help to treat it.
She added that the King sensing that there may be other people in the community facing similar challenges, decided to enlist the service of opticians to provide free eye screening and eyeglasses to those who may need it.
