The Lagos State Government through the Ministry of Health, in collaboration with Ikorodu North Local Council Development Area (LCDA), launched the Jigi Bola 2.0 initiative, aimed at providing free eye glasses to treat presbyopia in the community.

The program, which took place on March 25, 2025, offered free eye screening and provision of free eye glasses to community members aged 35 and above. The event was held at the Baale Omolaye Palace, Agbede Transformer.

Presbyopia is a common age-related condition that affects the ability to focus on close objects. The Jigi Bola 2.0 initiative seeks to address this issue by providing free eye glasses to those in need, thereby improving their quality of life.

The launch of the Jigi Bola 2.0 initiative is a testament to the Lagos State Government’s commitment to providing accessible and affordable healthcare services to its citizens. The collaboration between the Lagos State Ministry of Health and the Ikorodu North LCDA demonstrates the government’s efforts to reach out to communities and address their specific health needs.

Community members who attended the event expressed their gratitude for the initiative, praising the government’s efforts to improve their health and well-being.
