He pointed out that more than half of the ailments that lead to permanent loss of sight are treatable and thanked Seplat Energy and its partners for coming to the rescue.

“I want to thank the organisers of this programme. I can see for myself that all those who were operated on, under this initiative, can see with their eyes, which is a plus for the organisers. I understand that over the years, this has been going on while hundreds of our people have received free eyecare from Seplat Energy,” he said.

The Obkhavbaye of Benin, Chief Raphael Oronsaye, who represented the Oba of Benin, commended Seplat Energy and urged the people to always appreciate and take advantage of good initiatives by worthy corporate citizens.

Also present at the event were representatives of the NNPC Exploration and Production Limited (NEPL), led by Owunari Tomikeimieye.

He pointed out that it is from such resources that the Seplat JV would be able to continue delivering such life-changing initiatives to the host communities.

A beneficiary, Dennis Laure, who spoke on behalf of thers, thanked Seplat JV for helping them overcome eye-health challenges which has been negatively impacting their lifestyles and means of livelihood for many years.
