Seeing the Future: NOSA and the Federal Ministry of Youth Development Collaborate to Advance Youth Eye Health
The National Optometry Students Association (NOSA) National Executive Council collaborated with the Federal Ministry of Youth Development in Abuja for an impactful engagement themed, “Seeing the Future: Advancing Eye Health for Youth Development.” The event brought together youth leaders, optometry professionals, policymakers, and development partners to strengthen partnerships and advance youth-focused eye health initiatives across Nigeria. Speaking during the event, the Minister of Youth Development, Comrade Ayodele Olawande, represented by the Director of Youth Mental Health and Psychosocial Affairs, Emmanuel Essien, emphasized that poor eyesight among young people often leads to frustration, anxiety, social withdrawal, and reduced academic confidence. Dr. Obinna Ebirim, Senior Technical Adviser to the Minister, also disclosed that eye health programmes would be incorporated into the Ministry’s youth development initiatives, marking an important step towards improving access to eye care services for young Nigerians. The programme concluded with a humanitarian outreach at the Durumi Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) Camp, further demonstrating the shared commitment to advancing eye health and youth development in Nigeria.

VISION FOR SCHOOLS - From the Office of the National President
Vision for Schools Initiative Held in Edo State The Vision for Schools initiative, a newly introduced program aimed at promoting eye health awareness and advancing knowledge of the optometry profession among young people, was successfully held in Edo State. The program focused on educating secondary school students on the field of optometry, the vital role of optometrists in eye care delivery, and the importance of maintaining good ocular health through regular eye examinations and early detection of vision problems. Following the educational session, an eye screening exercise was conducted for the students to assess their visual status and identify individuals who may require further eye care intervention or referral. The initiative represents a significant step towards fostering eye health awareness among secondary school students while inspiring interest in optometry as a profession and promoting a culture of preventive eye care within the community. As a national initiative, Vision for Schools is expected to be implemented in other states across Nigeria, extending its impact and contributing to improved eye health awareness and access to eye care services among students nationwide.
