Beneficiaries Share Their Gratitude
Mrs. Adeola, a trader from Solebo said she had been struggling with blurred vision for years but could not afford treatment.
For many, the event was more than a medical outreach—it was a blessing.
“Today, I can finally see clearly. I’m grateful to Kabiyesi for bringing this to us. I will be able to work better and live better.”
Seventy-year-old Mr. Lawal, a retired teacher, described the experience as “life-changing.”
“I thought my eyes would just keep getting worse because I didn’t have money for new glasses. This gesture has restored my sight and my confidence.”
Miss Aishat , smiled as she put on her new pair of glasses.
“I used to sit in front of the class but still couldn’t see the board properly. Now everything is clear. I will do better in school.”
Part of a Bigger Celebration
This free eye care and glasses distribution is one of several community-focused programmes marking Ayangburen at 10. Earlier in the week, the celebrations featured scholarship awards, youth empowerment schemes, and cultural heritage events—all aimed at improving lives across Ikorodu Kingdom.
With each initiative, the Ayangburen’s anniversary is proving to be not just a royal milestone, but a season of giving and transformation for his people.
