The Zamfara Government says it would provide free eye treatment to all people with eye challenges in the state.
The state Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, Alhaji Muttaka Rini, made this known while briefing newsmen on the upcoming exercise on Thursday in Gusau.
He said teams of eye specialists would be deployed to all the 14 local government areas of the state for the programme which would commence on June 9. Rini also explained that his ministry had in collaboration with the local government councils carried out mobilisation campaigns to inform residents to embrace the exercise.
He said registration had since commenced in all public health facilities throughout the state, adding that the registration will continue even after the exercise had taken off.
The commissioner stated that drugs and equipment needed for eye treatment and surgery had all been procured by the state government.
