He appealled to Nigerian Leaders and the youths to use this as a model of collective attitude towards solving the Country’s many challenges.
“This is one among the three of such centres in Africa, while the other two are already functional, the Nigeria centre is yet to be built, the federal capital territory does not currently have any reputable public eye clinic, the few private ones are expensive and beyond the reach of the common man”
He explained that “the purpose of the fund raising efforts is to provide individual Nigerians, the federal and state governments, the organized private sector and the international community a platform to contribute to this philanthropic effort, to build a centre of excellence in eye care and related areas in Abuja, the federal capital territory which belongs to all Nigerians.”
He said that some of the activities to raise funds will be world press conference to formally unveil all the activities, major fund raising event, exhibition of hospital equipment, pharmaceutical products, related chemical products, golf tournament, international awards to honour individuals and corporate organisations for their support.
